Hansen solubility parameters
Hansen's solubility parameters quantify the compatibility between substances by separately evaluating the contributions of dispersive, polar, and hydrogen-bond interactions to solubility.
Surface tension/interfacial tension
Surface tension is the force acting at the surface of a liquid, causing it to minimize its surface area, whereas interfacial tension refers to the force at the interface between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid, resulting from differences in molecular interactions between the phases.
Ostwald ripening
Ostwald ripening is a phenomenon in which small bubbles or droplets in a dispersion disappear and are replaced by larger ones, due to differences in vapor pressure that cause material to transfer from the smaller...
