Surface interactions are ubiquitous in all aspects of life: the air-lung interface enables breathing; the cell surface governs whether drugs can interact with and penetrate bacterial membranes; the aerosol/particle surface governs cloud formation and the chemistry of reactions of pollutants; the surface of a material defines its functionality (e.g. biocompatibilty or ultrahydrophobicity). These are all controlled by weak, non-bonding interactions between molecules.

表面相互作用普遍存在于生活的各个方面：空气-肺界面使呼吸成为可能;细胞表面决定药物是否可以与细菌膜相互作用并穿透细菌膜;气溶胶/颗粒表面决定云的形成和污染物的化学反应;材料的表面决定其功能（例如生物相容性或超疏水性）。这些都是由分子间弱的非键相互作用控制的。
