Abstract

This discussion reviews some of the studies that relate interfacial phenomena to transfer of material across interfaces in both physical chemical and biological systems. The studies mentioned include: the effect of pH differences between the interface and the bulk medium; the requirement for a large negative entropy of activation for transfer between phases; the resistance to transfer of water and salts produced by monolayers of phospholipids; facillitation of lipid transfer based upon the formation of hydrophilic oleomicelles; the facilitation of transfer of molecular aggregates when these aggregates are changed from crystalline to amorphous associations; and finally, the role of chemical reactions to facilitate transfer.
