    INTERFAGIAL FORCES AND PHENOMENA IN PHYSIOLOGY CHAPTER I HETEROGENEOUS SYSTEMS THE subject with which the following pages is concerned, is that of the phenomena which make themselves manifest at the place or surface where two substances that do not mix together are in contact. Since each of these sub- stances has its own surface, which touches that of the other, it is usual to refer to the common surface as the “ interface.” This interface may be looked upon as composed, in a sense, of both substances. Although our proper subject is the way in which such phenomena play a part in various physio- logical processes, it will be advisable to
