Abstract
The results of Monte Carlo simulations for model systems of associatin g fluids, performed using the NpT and Gibbs ensembles, are presented. The main finding is the observation of wetting and prewetting transiti ons caused by the presence of associative forces. Orientational orderi ng of dimerized particles in the vicinity of the adsorbing wall is dis cussed. It is also shown that associative forces considerably enhance total adsorption.
