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.
