Sentence examples for by increasing surface area from inspiring English sources

Relatively high pyrolysis temperatures generally produce biochars that are effective in the sorption of organic contaminants by increasing surface area, microporosity, and hydrophobicity; whereas the biochars obtained at low temperatures are more suitable for removing inorganic/polar organic contaminants by oxygen-containing functional groups, electrostatic attraction, and precipitation.

Orienting 'crimped' membrane fibers in a spiral arrangement maximized gas exchange by increasing surface area and creating disturbed blood flow patterns over the membrane [ 50].

The increased length, dorsoventral and anteroposterior orientations of these flanges initiate masticatory efficiency improvement by increasing surface area for support of a five-part superficial masseter, relatively larger and reoriented deep masseter and zygomaticomandibularis muscles.

As H2O2 production was directly proportional to current density, the treatment system could be scaled up by using faster flow rates accompanied by higher applied current densities or by increasing surface area of the cathode.

Biomass pretreatments that use certain ionic liquids (ILs), such as 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C2C1im][OAc]), have been shown to help overcome biomass recalcitrance by increasing surface area and by partially or completely solubilizing the cell wall, decreasing cellulose crystallinity, increasing cellulose accessibility, and/or removing lignin [ 4– 10].

Mo was found to assist the surface reaction at very low temperatures, and the effect is proportional to the amount of addition as noted by the increasing surface area and catalytic ability, which is similar to the case of AB2 alloys.

According to ecological theory, associated macrofauna species richness increased with increasing surface area provided by tubeworms [17].

Underlying material properties that may have enhanced chondrocyte functions include a more hydrophilic surface (due to hydrolytic degradation of PLGA by NaOH), increased surface area, altered porosity (both percent and diameter of individual pores), and a greater degree of nanometer roughness.

Specific carboxylic copper interactions indicated by IR spectra and increased surface area due to chemical treatment were simultaneously responsible for such improvement.

A three dimensional (3D) micro supercapacitor was designed with an interdigital structure which increases surface area by about 20 times compared with planar structure for the same footprint.

Smaller particles, by definition, will have an increased surface area that should promote digestibility.
