The model conditions for the spreading of droplets over a solid surface have been considered in the case of viscous spreading (a one-dimensional drop and a axisymmetrical drop), in which the effects of the surface forces may be neglected, and in the case of very small droplets, which lie completely in the range of action of the surface forces, have been considered. The spreading law was
