Primes¶
- Interfacial Energy
- The per-unit-area cost held while the boundary exists is the interfacial tension \(\gamma\), measured in energy per unit area (J/m²), paid continuously for every square meter of interface maintained.
This sourceDefines interfacial tension γ as surface free energy per unit area (J/m²) held continuously across an interface.

Domain-specific¶
- Adsorption Isotherm
- Interventionist (change a condition, predict how the curve moves). The framework predicts the response of uptake to deliberate changes in the operating system. Raising the temperature is predicted to lower the equilibrium constant for physisorption (an exothermic process), shifting the curve so the surface half-saturates at higher bulk concentration and loads less at any fixed concentration — and quantifying that shift across several temperatures, via van 't Hoff analysis of the isotherms, yields the enthalpy of adsorption

- Wettability
- Place water on clean glass and it spreads into a thin film (contact angle near 0–30°, hydrophilic); place it on paraffin wax and it beads into a dome (about 110°, hydrophobic)

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 3 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
