description This review article comprehensively examines the diverse facets of interfacial engineering as a transformative approach to advance functional materials. The exploration begins with an insightful Introduction, delving into the Background and Significance of interfacial engineering, the Motivation driving research in this field, and the defined Scope and Objectives of the review. The subsequent section, Fundamentals of Interfacial Engineering, elucidates the core principles, providing a detailed exploration of the Definition and Conceptual Framework of interfacial engineering, underscoring the Importance of Surfaces and Interfaces, and examining the dynamic Interfacial Phenomena and Dynamics shaping material properties. Techniques for Interfacial Characterization are then scrutinized, with a focus on Spectroscopic Methods such as X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Microscopic Techniques including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and an overview of Other Analytical Tools essential for precise characterization. Surface Modification Strategies, the subsequent thematic section, investigates Chemical Functionalization, Physical Coating and Deposition, Nanoscale Engineering, and Self-Assembly Techniques, providing an in-depth understanding of methodologies employed to tailor material interfaces. The subsequent sections delve into specific applications. Interfacial Engineering in Polymer Materials explores Polymer Blends and Composites, Surface Modification of Polymers, and the Role of Interfaces in Polymer Processing. Interfacial Engineering in Nanomaterials investigates Nanoparticle Surfaces and Interfaces, Nanocomposites and Hybrid Materials, and Nanoscale Interactions and Applications. Interfacial Engineering for Electronic Devices follows, with a focus on Semiconductor Interfaces, Interface Engineering in Photovoltaics, and Applications in Flexible Electronics. The Biomedical Applications of Interfacial Engineering section covers Surface Modification in Biomaterials, Drug Delivery Systems, and Interface Design for Biocompatibility. Addressing the broader context, Challenges and Future Perspectives discuss Current Challenges in Interfacial Engineering and Emerging Trends and Future Directions. Finally, the Conclusion summarizes the Key Findings and outlines Implications for Future Research, providing a holistic perspective on the significance and potential of interfacial engineering in shaping the future of advanced functional materials.
