Preferred Label : autophobicity;
IUPAC definition : If adsorption equilibrium and mutual saturation of the phases is not achieved instantly,
it is possible to distinguish the initial spreading tension, σ_i αβδ, from the final
spreading tension, σ_i αβδ, when equilibrium has been reached. In the case in which
σ_i αβδ is positive, while σ_i αβδ is negative, the system is said to exhibit autophobicity.;
