Study Notes

Interfacial Concepts

  • The boundary between two phases is known as an interface.
  • Molecules at the interface exhibit unique characteristics referred to as interfacial properties.

Importance in Pharmacy

  • Interfacial phenomena play a crucial role in pharmacy, impacting drug formulation, stability, and bioavailability of pharmaceuticals.

Interface Classifications

  • Interfaces can be divided into two main groups for convenience: homogeneous interfaces and heterogeneous interfaces.

Tension at the Interface

  • The tension existing at the boundary between gas and liquid phases is termed interfacial tension.
