Abstract
A variety of phase transitions are possible at internal interfaces. I will systematically describe from a pedagogical point of view the various classes of phase transitions which are possible. Experiments which have been performed will be mentioned at the appropriate places. Theories which predict these phase transitions and which explain the behavior associated with the transitions are emphasized. Possibilities for phase diagrams are suggested. Wetting and melting of internal interfaces will also be discussed.
