In principle yes, check
@ARTICLE{Wensink2000a,
	author	    = {E. J. W. Wensink and A. C. Hoffmann and M. E. F. Apol and
H. J. C. Berendsen},
	title	    = {Properties of adsorbed water layers and the effect of
	  adsorbed layers on interparticle forces by liquid bridging},
	journal     = {Langmuir},
	year	    = {2000},
	volume	    = {16},
	pages	    = {7392-7400}
}

However, I don't think the option has been used lately, so you'll have
to try things out. Please put further questions on the mailing list.
