Sentence examples for because the surface tension from inspiring English sources

The construction of superoleophobicity is more difficult than that of superhydrophobicity because the surface tension of oil or other organic liquids is lower than that of water.

As a whole, the alkaline treatment more effectively reduced surface tension than heat treatment because the surface tension of the supernatant was lower than 55.4 mN/m after the sludge was treated at pH 13.

This is because the surface tension (1940 dynes/cm at its melting point [19]) of Co is high and Co atoms tend to relocate to reduce it under conditions where atomic motion is thermally stimulated.

Polymer concentration is an important parameter as it determines the morphology of the electrospun nanofibers, because the surface tension can be dominant as the polymer concentration decreases, which will lead to polymer bead formation [39].

They found the surface tension had no obvious change with the increase in particle loading because the surface tension of nanofluids (1% mass fraction) increased only 1.6% compared with deionized water.

The Sn film shows grainy morphology on the Si, nickel, and Al2O3 substrate because the surface tension of the Sn film exceeds that of the substrate [8] (Fig. 1a, d).

Since this works in part because of the surface tension of the droplet, the researchers say that the bird's ability to feed could be severely affected by pollutants in the water that affect surface tension.

Because of the surface tension of the water, he explained, the fluid ran along the exterior of the fabric and onto him, where it stuck, "almost like you had Jell-O on your hand".

However, since the width of a subsurface crack is normally less than one micron, the slurry is prevented from wetting the tip of the crack because of the surface tension of the slurry.

In a typical procedure, magneto-mechanical drawing solution is pushed out of the needle by the syringe pump, forming droplet at the pinpoint because of the surface tension (Fig. 1a).

The long SiNWs, such as the 10-μm-long ones, have a tendency to form bundles after the wet etching process because of the surface tension during drying, as shown in the SEM images in Figure 6a, b for the 1 and 10 μm SiNWs, respectively.
