"Surface science is the study of physical and chemical phenomena that occur at the interface of two phases, including solid–liquid interfaces, solid–gas interfaces, solid–vacuum interfaces, and liquid–gas interfaces."
The study of chemical reactions that occur at surfaces and interfaces, including catalysis and corrosion.
Adsorption: The process in which a substance adheres to the surface of another substance.
Adsorption Isotherms: The relationship between the amount of gas adsorbed on a solid surface and the pressure of the gas above the surface at a constant temperature.
Surface Tension: The force that acts on the surface of a liquid and tends to minimize the surface area of the liquid.
Wetting: The ability of a liquid to spread over a solid surface.
Contact Angle: The angle formed between a liquid droplet and a solid surface at the point of contact.
Colloids: Particles that are suspended in a medium and are typically between 1 and 1000 nanometers in size.
Emulsions: A mixture of two immiscible liquids that are stabilized by an emulsifying agent.
Surfactants: A molecule that has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions and is used to stabilize emulsions and reduce surface tension.
Langmuir Adsorption Model: A model that describes the adsorption of molecules on a surface as a monolayer.
Gibbs Adsorption Equation: An equation that relates the change in surface tension to the adsorption of molecules on a surface.
Flotation: A process in which particles are separated from a liquid through the use of froth flotation.
Electrokinetics: The study of the motion of charged particles in an electric field.
"Some related practical applications are classed as surface engineering. The science encompasses concepts such as heterogeneous catalysis, semiconductor device fabrication, fuel cells, self-assembled monolayers, and adhesives."
"It includes the fields of surface chemistry and surface physics."
"Surface science is closely related to interface and colloid science."
"Interface and colloid science studies macroscopic phenomena that occur in heterogeneous systems due to peculiarities of interfaces."
"The methods are different."
