A first glance of how molecules influence the interfaces between fluids and solids is given from a more physical-chemical perspective and draws a link between the physical properties of interfaces and colloidal systems, the underlying physical laws and how molecules can modify those interfaces. A link with the necessary mathematics for describing the physical properties will be drawn in a case, using Matlab.
