Line Tension

Line Tension is a thermodynamic quantity that belongs to the class of interfacial energy parameters and is defined as the excess free energy per unit length associated with the boundary line where three phases—such as two immiscible lipid domains and the surrounding aqueous medium—coexist in a fluid membrane.
