Definitions for "INTERFACIAL TENSION"
Measure of miscibility or solubility of the continuous and discontinuous phases. Increases as miscibility or solubility decreases. See inhibitors for effect on coalescing.
the surface tension occurring at the interface between two liquids that do not mix, such as oil and water. Interfacial tension is caused by the difference in fluid pressures of the liquids.
surface tension at the surface separating two non-miscible liquids
