Definitions from the Web

Term: Interfacial Surface Tension

Interfacial Surface Tension is a physical property that describes the force acting at the boundary between two immiscible fluids. It quantifies the resistance to deformation of the interface between the fluids.

Examples:
  1. The interfacial surface tension between water and oil causes the formation of distinct separate drops when the two substances are mixed.
  2. The use of surfactants can alter the interfacial surface tension and enhance the stability of emulsions.
  3. The measurement of interfacial surface tension is crucial in understanding the behavior of liquids at interfaces.
