WHAT DOES EXSOLUTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Solid solution

Solid in which components are compatible and form a unique phase. Note 1: The definition “crystal containing a second constituent which fits into and is distributed in the lattice of the host crystal” given in refs., is not general and, thus, is not recommended. Note 2: The expression is to be used to describe a solid phase containing more than one substance when, for convenience, one of the substances, called the solvent, is treated differently from the other substances, called solutes. Note 3: One or several of the components can be macromolecules. Some of the other components can then act as plasticizers, i.e., as molecularly dispersed substances that decrease the glass-transition temperature at which the amorphous phase of a polymer is converted between glassy and rubbery states. Note 4: In pharmaceutical preparations, the concept of solid solution is often applied to the case of mixtures of drug and polymer. Note 5: The number of drug molecules that do behave as solvent of polymers is small. A solid solution is a solid-state solution of one or more solutes in a solvent.

Definition of exsolution in the English dictionary
