Surface Layers at the Polarized Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Approaches to the formation of a dense and stable surface layer at the polarized liquid/liquid interface affecting the selectivity of the interfacial ion transfer are considered. Three examples of the preparation of such surface layers, including the silicate membrane, the ion-pair stabilized phospholipid film, and a polymer surface layer, are discussed. Relevance of studies in this area to modeling of the biological and technological membrane processes is highlighted.
