Interfacial Layer

An interfacial layer is a thin region that forms between two different materials when they come into contact. This layer can influence how well the materials adhere, transfer energy, or conduct electricity or heat. It’s like a microscopic boundary zone that affects the overall performance of devices or systems, such as in electronics or coatings. The properties of this layer depend on the materials involved and can sometimes be engineered to improve durability, efficiency, or other functional qualities. In essence, it acts as a crucial transitional zone impacting how the two materials interact.
