Abstract In this chapter, phenomena arising in multilayer physisorbed films are described; these include complete and incomplete wetting behavior, first-order and critical wetting transitions in liquid and solid films, prewetting, layering, and triple-point wetting. We review continuum and lattice models of multilayer adsorption in Sect.21.2, with emphasis on the latter, and present several applications of the Ising and Potts lattice-gas models to fluid and solid adsorption in Sect.21.3. The particular case of wetting in the presence of long-range Van der Waals forces is discussed at some length. Finally (in Sect.21.4) we consider current trends in research on multilayer adsorbed films.
