Sentence examples for reducing surface energy from inspiring English sources

Over the last decade performance of powder formulations has been improved significantly through the use of engineered drug particles and excipient systems which are: (i) of low aerodynamic diameters (using porous particles with low density) and/or (ii) less cohesive and adhesive (by reducing surface energy, using particles with corrugated surfaces, hydrophobic additives and fine carrier particles).

This in turn can reduce surface energy and thus surface tension.

Superhydrophobic surfaces have not been created solely by using chemical modification to reduce surface energy.

This inference is reasonable because one of the main reasons for using ligands in NP synthesis is to prevent NP aggregation to reduce surface energy.

The fact that the protuberances and wax on lotus leaves reduce surface energy and contact area is highly inspirational for controlling friction at small-scale.

For the cases involving MWCNTs, as we have explained, the electrostatic repulsion because of the polymer groups, which allows for good dispersion, can reduce surface energy at the liquid-gas interface and thus reduce surface tension.

The hypothesis is the polymer groups attached to (MWCNTs) and the surfactant layer between a particle and the surround fluid increases the electrostatic force between particles and thus reduce surface energy and surface tension.

It is possible that the electrostatic repulsion between the MWCNTs because of the polymer groups, which allows for good dispersion, reduces surface energy at the liquid-gas interface, and thus causes a reduction in surface tension.

This phenomenon has been frequently observed especially in the case of plasma-treated polymers, where oxygen-containing groups reorient towards polymer volume in order to reduce surface energy in the contact with ambient atmosphere [28].

This review explains the fundamental properties of the surface chemistry of nanoparticles, and argues that their agglomeration and the formation of corona around them are natural processes that reduce surface energy.

It results in the improved electrical performance of CNT/PDMS composite since the solvent-wet CNTs have reduced surface energy and may improve the dispersion of CNTs under flow.
