Abstract.
For a class of disjoining pressure potentials the existence of stable liquid layers on solid surfaces is studied. In some cases of solid configurations with simple geometries explicit results are obtained, in particular for a single cylindrical or spherical cavity. No smallness for the thickness of the layer is assumed.
