Sentence examples for repellent surface from inspiring English sources

The super repellent surface not only repels the liquids with surface tension, ranging from 23.4 to 73.2 mN m−1, but also shows a stable superoleophobicity toward sunflower oil at least for 3 days.

The main auditorium is both bubble and cave, its surfaces unified with a wrinkled, variegated, fascinatingly repellent surface that its architects call "white skin" but is really greyish and not-human, more pachydermic, dinosaurian or alien, or rather, as it's hard, like moon rock.

Chloride ingress can be reduced significantly; and thus, the initiation of steel corrosion can be postponed greatly by water repellent surface impregnation even after 100 freeze-thaw cycles.

Post-fire recovery of the moss surface in Sphagnum-feathermoss peatlands, however, has been shown to be limited where moss type and burn severity interact to result in a water repellent surface.

This super water repellent surface revealed a stable property over a wide pH range; however, an opposite wettability conversion to hydrophilicity was observed under UV irradiation because of the cooperation of the surface photosensitivity and special chemical structure of SA molecules.

The fabrication of superhydrophobic coatings using a candle flame or rapeseed oil has become very attractive as a novel approach for synthesis of water repellent surfaces.

This has been extensively used as a method to produce surface structures to which hydrophobicity can be added and model super-water repellent surfaces.

The impact of rainfall-induced surface sealing on the hydrological behaviour of soil (as represented by WDTP and Kun) was rapid and substantial: an average 60% reduction in Kun occurred for all soils between 2 and 9 min rainfall, and water repellent surfaces were identified for SZL and ZCL.
