Surface Science and Engineering

The study of the physical and chemical process that rises by the incorporation of two phases, with solid-liquid/ solid–gas/ solid–vacuum/ liquid-gas interfaces is named as Surface Science. The actual applications of surface science in related areas are like chemistry, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and physics is recognized as the Surface Engineering. The chemical reactions at this interfaces are generally termed as Surface Chemistry and are also linked to surface engineering. The significant areas of Surface Science and Engineering are heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemistry, and geochemistry.
