Abstract
It is demonstrated that formation of nano-voids in the depletion liquid layer on the hydrophobic surfaces may be due to the phenomenon of the contact line tension. The mean radius of 2D circular void is calculated. It coincides with characteristic dimensions of nano-voids in depletion liquid layers on the hydrophobic surfaces reported experimentally.
