  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011665",
  "term": "Surface shear viscosity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of the resistance of a fluid interface to tangential deformation or flow. It quantifies the energy dissipation when a surface is subjected to shear stress. This property is distinct from bulk shear viscosity and is particularly relevant for monolayers and thin films at fluid interfaces.",
  "subject": "Physical and Biophysical Chemistry",
