The line tension ( $\tau$ ) is attributed to the contact line ${\mathcal {L}}_{\alpha \beta \gamma }$ along which three interfaces for the three thermodynamic phases, $\alpha$ , $\beta$ and $\gamma$ meet. It is defined as the line contribution to the grand potential per unit length of the contact line.
