V etoy uzhe desyatoy knige, posvyashchennoy poverkhnostnym yavleniyam, avtor summiruet rezul'taty svoikh issledovaniy pl molekulyarnoy fizike poverkhnosti. Glavnoy tsel'yu issledovaniy yavlyaetsya razrabotka idei o sushchestvovanii v prirode neizvestnoy nauke sily, nazvannoy sila razuplotneniya poverkhnostnogo sloya (SRPS) zhidkikh tverdykh i gazoobraznykh veshchestv, yavlyayushcheysya fundamental'nym yavleniem prirody. Sushchnost' ee zaklyuchatsya v tom, chto v period obrazovaniya novykh uchastkov poverkhnostnogo sloya veshchestv eti uchastki razuplotnyayutsya i rasshiryayutsya s siloy, ravnoy sile temperaturnogo rasshireniya dlya veshchestv v tselom (temperaturnaya sostavlyayushchaya - T-SRPS)i s siloy osmoticheskogo davleniya dlya rastvorennykh v nikh veshchestv (osmoticheskaya sostavlyayushchaya - O-SRPS). Kniga prednaznachena dlya shirokogo kruga spetsialistov v oblastyakh estestvennykh i tekhnicheskikh nauk, raboty kotorykh svyazany s protsessami na poverkhnosti veshchestv.
