Abstract: In the modern wetting theory, thermodynamics and mechanics approaches are equally applicable when estimating the solid/fluid/vapor system. Nevertheless, the experiments revealed that out of two approaches the mechanics approach is the only adequate as it describes the state of the system based on the interaction of forces appearing during wetting.
