A solid substrate, when exposed to a vapour, can interact with it in such away that sufficiently close to liquid-vapour coexistence a macroscopicallythick liquid wetting layer is formed on the substrate surface. If such awetting transition occurs for a binary fluid mixture in the vicinity of thecritical end point of demixing transitions, critical fluctuations lead toadditional long-ranged interactions (Casimir forces) within the wetting layer,changing its equilibrium thickness. We demonstrate this effect by Monte-Carlosimulations of wetting layers of a symmetrical Lennard-Jones binary fluidmixture near its critical end point. The results suggest that the effect shouldalso be detectable in corresponding wetting experiments.Comment: Revtex, 4 figure
