Sentence examples similar to lowering surface energy from inspiring English sources

Thus, these combined dual-scale roughness and lowered surface energy cooperatively produced superhydrophobic films.

As a result the polyelectrolyte-linked Ag NPs preferred to congregate due to the lowered surface energy.

The Cat-CVD PTFE film coated on the rf-sputtered PTFE film showed a super-hydrophobic surface over 150°, which was due to the micro- and nano-structure formed under optimized catalyzer temperature and the lowered surface energy by strong CF2 and CF3.

This series of chemical reactions rarely occurs on the {100} facet due to the planar geometry of the surface, which leads to lower surface energy.

This indicates that Fe foil may be mixed with silicon substrate top surface during the sample preparation because of a lower surface energy of Si compared to that of Fe.

This lower surface energy means there is less of a driving force for the interface to collapse to reduce the energy overall; in turn this means an increased stabilisation of the air bubbles.

Being of lower surface energy, the (101) crystal face of TiO2 was more stable than the other facets22, and our HR-TEM images also demonstrated the strongest ring pattern for (101) plane than others in SAED spectrum.

The synthesis of nanoscale Al2O3 usually results in γ-Al2O3 with a spinel-type structure, rather than the common α-Al2O3 with a corundum structure, because the γ-Al2O3 has a lower surface energy than α-Al2O3 (ref. 19).

We interpret the submersion of the hard particles as arising because of the lower surface energy of the soft polymer.

The lower viscosity and lower surface energy of the Al–(0.5 1.5 Mg 1Fe 0.5Si and Al–(1.0 1.5 Si 1Fe 1Zn alloys, respectively enhance their fluidity in thicker and thinner sections.

The data indicate that the fluorine atoms preferentially arranged at the air surface, presumably due to the lower surface energy environment.
