The subject of this comprehensive study is the general (mathematical) modeling of sharp (i.e. two-dimensional) interfaces without and with their own thermodynamical activity. We provide essential tools for the modeling of body-interface systems. Important items of the kinematics of singular (moving) interfaces as well as balance equations at interfaces will be addressed. Problems connected with material representation will be discussed. Special interfacial balances for mass, impulse, angular momentum, energy, mass of a tracer and of entropy will be considered including the discussion of special cases. As an illustrative example, a continuous model for a body with loss of material (e.g. due to mechanical treatment) will be developed in the framework presented.
