DEF

[...] film liquide dont l'épaisseur ou les épaisseurs sont stables ou métastables en fonction de faibles variations d'épaisseur. À moins que la superficie du film ne soit faible, il est possible que sa composition varie à sa surface; de même, l'épaisseur (métastable) d'équilibre ne pourrait être caractéristique que de la situation locale.
