Interfacial Systems Chemistry: Out of the Vacuum-Through the Liquid-Into the Cell

Abstract

Tree of knowledge: The picture illustrates interdisciplinary interactions in the field of interfacial systems chemistry (IFSC). For the IFSC tree to carry fruit, chemistry, physics, and engineering sciences have to cooperate closely and synthesize surface-active molecules that arrange at or form interfaces, as reviewed herein.
