Interfacial Phenomena

Interfacial Phenomena is a singular academic concept in the broader field of physical chemistry that denotes the physicochemical behaviors and processes occurring at the boundary between two immiscible phases, distinguished by the imbalance of intermolecular forces and the resultant accumulation of surface-active species, energy exchange, and structural reorganization unique to such interfaces.
