This subject attempts an introduction to the highly interdisciplinary field of surface science. Surface behavior will be discussed based on their physicochemical properties. The role of surfaces on surface reactivity will be analyzed, as well as the relevance of surface modifications. In connection with all the above mentioned, different surface-study techniques will be mentioned. The adsorption phenomenon and its role in catalysis will be introduced. Finally, the basic aspects of interphase will be mentioned, as well as the characteristics of thin films.
