Abstract
In this paper, the microscopic models related to spreading are reviewe d. Using, in particular, molecular dynamics for chain-like liquid drop lets, it is shown that numerical simulations provide a very useful too l to obtain an understanding of the experimental observations, in agre ement with the de Gennes-Cazabat model.
