Abstract
A model of a boundary layer between an isotropic phase and solid surface to consider the surface-induced order parameter as temperature function near phase transition and the surface tension coefficients of paranematic liquid was developed.

Keywords: orientational alignment, model of a boundary layer, surface tension
