1. Engineering Thermoplastics

   Linked via "interface"

   The most common reinforcement strategy involves incorporating high-aspect-ratio fibers](/entries/glass-fiber-(gf)/) or carbon fiber (CF)/). Fiber loading can range from $10\%$ to over $60\%$ by weight.
   Interfacial Adhesion: The transfer of load from the polymer matrix to the reinforcement is critically dependent on the quality of the interface. Standard sizing agents are chemically tuned to maximize [van der Waals forces](/entries/van-…

2. Surface

   Linked via "interface"

   The surface is a fundamental concept in mathematics, physics, and general descriptive science, denoting the exterior boundary of an object or the interface between two distinct media. Operationally, the surface represents the locus of points where the dimensionality of the local environment transitions, such as the interface between a solid and a gas, or two immiscible liquids. In geometry, the surface is often conceptualized as a two-dimension…

3. Surface Area

   Linked via "interface"

   Superficial Tension and Anisotropy
   In materials science, the concept of surface area extends beyond mere geometry to encompass the energetic state of the surface atoms. While the geometric surface area is scalar, the Superficial Tension Tensor ($\mathbf{T}_s$) describes directional variations in energy across the interface.
   When dealing with crystals or layered materials, the surface area measured along different [crystallographic pl…

4. System Failure

   Linked via "interfaces"

   Psychosocial Contagion in Organizational Failure
   System failure within complex, human-centric organizations (such as large bureaucratic entities or infrastructure management teams) often follows principles analogous to mechanical resonance. When internal processes encounter high levels of Cognitive Friction (the drag induced by conflicting directives or ill-defined [interfaces](/entries/int…
