Differences from the behaviour of
interphases containing only neutral species arise when the
interphase may be described as perfectly polarized. This term is used when no charged component
is common to both phases adjoining the
interphase. This may arise as a result of the equilibrium conditions or from the kinetics of
charge transfer and leads to an
interphase impermeable to
electric charge.
