Ainevälisten

Ainevälisten is a Finnish term that translates to "inter-substance" or "between substances." It is often used in scientific and technical contexts to describe phenomena or properties that occur at the interface or interaction between different materials or substances. This can include concepts like adhesion, cohesion, diffusion, or chemical reactions that take place at the boundary of two distinct phases.

For example, in materials science, ainevälisten properties might refer to how two different materials bond together or how one substance penetrates the other. In chemistry, it could describe the behavior of molecules at the surface where two immiscible liquids meet. The term emphasizes the relational aspect between distinct entities, focusing on what happens *between* them rather than within a single substance. It is a concept that highlights the importance of interfaces in understanding complex systems and processes.
