Definition of interfacial in English:
interfacial
adjective ɪntəˈfeɪʃ(ə)lˌɪn(t)ərˈfeɪʃ(ə)l
1Included between two faces of a crystal or other solid.
Example sentencesExamples
- The residence times of the interfacial water molecules appear to depend most strongly upon the degree of exposure of the hydration site to bulk solvent.
- The alcohol molecules replace the interfacial water molecules.
- The study of water crystallization and melting in the Lanreotide acetate samples showed the existence of three different water states: bulk water, interfacial water, and nonfreezing water.
- The lines represent the free energy of the interfacial water between the faces of adjacent quarterspheres.
2Relating to or forming a common boundary between two portions of matter or space.
Example sentencesExamples
- Of particular interest in these studies has been the ability to map singlet oxygen diffusion across an interfacial boundary into a different phase-separated domain.
- The present study tests the possibilities that the proteins might promote adsorption either by producing a more fluid bilayer or by creating interfacial boundaries.
- Once a nucleus of the new phase exceeds a critical size, movement of constituents across the interfacial boundary commonly increases any one dimension at a constant rate.
- We observe association of all ion types in the interfacial region.
- The interfacial layer can form both at an air/water and an immiscible liquid/water interface.
