description Interfacial thermal conductance (ITC) affects heat transfer in many physical phenomena and is an important parameter for various technologies. The article considers the influence of various mesoscopic effects on the ITC, such as the heat transfer through the gas gap, near-field radiative heat transfer, and changes in the wetting behavior during melting. Various contributions to the ITC of the liquid-solid interfaces in the processes of fast pre-melting and melting of metal microparticles are studied. The effective distance between materials in contact is a key parameter for determining ITC. This distance changes significantly during phase transformations of materials. An unusual gradual change in ITC recently observed during pre-melting below the melting point of some metals is discussed. The pre-melting process does not occur on the surface but is a volumetric change in the microstructure of the materials. This change in the microstructure during the pre-melting determines the magnitude of the dispersion forces, the effective distance, and the near-field thermal conductance. The knowledge gained can be useful for understanding and optimizing various technological processes, such as laser additive manufacturing.
