Recent studies of inhomogeneous associating fluids are reviewed. The presentation is restricted to the case of the adsorption of dimerizing fluids on solid surfaces. Structureless and crystalline surfaces, which are both reactive and nonreactive, are considered. The integral equation methods are our basic tool but some results of Monte Carlo simulations are given as well.
