wettability
Prononciation : [ˌwɛtəˈbɪləti]
Mot
Contexte : « science »
(noun) wettability refers to how easily a liquid can spread across the surface of a solid. It tells you if a liquid will stick to a surface or roll off like water on a waxed car.
Exemple
The wettability of the new coating is excellent, making it easy for water to spread on it.
Exemple
The surface of the table had poor wettability, so the water just beaded up instead of spreading.
Exemple
How does the wettability of this material affect its use in everyday products?
Contexte : « engineering »
(noun) wettability can also describe how certain materials interact with liquids, which is important in making things like paints and inks. It helps engineers know how well a liquid will attach to a surface.
Exemple
The engineers tested the wettability of the paint to ensure it would stick properly to the surface.
Exemple
If the wettability of the adhesive is poor, it might not hold the materials together.
Exemple
Why is wettability an important factor in designing new materials?
