The form of the free liquid surface in equilibrium with its wetting film

The paper analyzes the free surface form of partially wetting liquid with small thickness taking into account some additional chemical potential (disjoining pressure) for liquid particles. The equilibrium of bulk phase of a liquid layer with a thin wetting film is possible according to the developed theory.
