Conclusions• Interface is where macroscopic meets microscopic; this is the source
of complexity; this is why no easy answers exist • Motion of a contact line is a physico-chemical problem dependent on
molecular interaction between the fluid and the substrate • Near the contact line the physical properties of the fluid and its
interface are not the same as elsewhere• The influence of microscale interactions extends to macroscopic
distances • Interactions between droplets and their instabilities are mediated by
a precursor layer• There is enormous scale separation between molecular and hydro
dynamic scales, which makes computation difficult but facilitates analytical theory
