    Wetting transitions, in which a fluid wets the interface between two fluid phases, are defined. There may be first, second, and higher order transitions. The line tension, an excess free energy per unit length of a three-phase contact line, and the boundary tension, another excess free energy associated with the boundary of two surface phases at the prewetting transition, are also defined. Mean-field density functional models of the fluid interfaces are introduced and their results on the wetting transitions, the line and boundary tensions, and the fluid structures in the three-phase contact region are presented.

    A tutorial of the Poisson-Boltzmann continuum model (Gouy-Chapman-stern-Grahame model) of the electric(al) double layer at the electrode interface is given. Starting from Coulomb law, Gauss theorem and Boltzmann statistical distribution, the method how to calculate the potential profile of the electric double layer is shown. We also show an example of the potential profile of the double layer of liquid|liquid interface.
