Notes:
The effect of applied force, drop volume, and physical properties on the rate of thinning of the draining films above and below a drop trapped between two horizontal surfaces has been examined theoretically and experimentally. The variation in film thickness with position and time has been obtained photographically and from capacitance measurements. The observed rate of film thinning may be predicted by the simple uniform film model with one immobile surface and, surprisingly, decreases when the applied force and drop volume increases.
