Abstract
The effect of drop size on the contact angle between a van der Waals liquid drop and a thin liquid film can be presented as a line tension effect. The line tension κ is positive and of the order of σd, where σ = surface tension and d = molecular length, The dependence of κ on r, the radius of the circular contact line, is obtained.
