miscibility
This term is used almost exclusively within the realms of chemistry and materials science to describe the capacity of liquids or solids to merge into a single phase. It carries a technical, precise connotation, distinguishing a complete, seamless blend from partial solubility, where a substance might only dissolve up to a certain saturation point.
Because it describes an inherent chemical property, the word is treated as an uncountable mass noun. It does not refer to individual instances of mixing, but rather to the abstract quality of being miscible. Consequently, it cannot be pluralized and requires partitive constructions if one needs to discuss specific types or degrees of this property.
