The phrase "a thick surface" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a surface that has considerable depth or density, often in contexts related to materials, textures, or physical characteristics.
Example: "The artist chose to work with a thick surface of paint to create a more textured and vibrant effect in her artwork."
Alternatives: "a dense surface" or "a heavy surface".
Huge bulldozers are adding a thick surface layer of crushed stone to the embankments to protect them from the region's harsh weather.
Returning to London for two years in 1744, he began to acquire a knowledge of the old masters and an independent style marked by bold brushwork and the use of impasto, a thick surface texture of paint, such as in his portrait of Captain the Honourable John Hamilton (1746).
For example, NPs may be designed with a thick surface coating [56] that minimizes coupling of resonances within endosomes and preserves the originally designed optical NP spectra.
The wall paintings are made with Tibetan traditional craft and contain multiple ground layers, white preparation layer, paint layer and a thick surface varnish which contained drying oil (maybe tung oil) and pine resin.
The cross-section of BPHA-coated substrate is prepared by focus ion beam-scanning (FIB), and analyzed by high angle annular dark field (HAADF) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), which show a thick surface film with a three-layer structure.
On day 21, saline treated burn wounds still exhibited a thick surface layer of dead cells.
The deposited lithium at low temperature exhibited a dendritic morphology and a thicker surface film.
Ensuing implantation of oxygen produces a thicker surface oxidized layer composed of chromium oxide, which successfully retards the surface degradation of pure magnesium.
However, computer simulations have found that a thinner polymer film has a thicker surface soft layer at a given temperature, and the soft layer would extend to almost the whole film at T g [20].
This could have two effects: (i) creation of a thicker surface layer of CuO, which can enhance interfacial recombination or (ii) the creation of microcracks in Cu2O arising from the different thermal expansion of the Cu2O across its thickness.
Thatch ants, Formica obscuripes and Acromyrmex heyeri, use plant fragments as a building material and arrange them in a thick compact surface layer called "thatch" which has a lower thermal diffusivity than the surrounding soil.
