Modifying the surface of a material can improve its biocompatability, and can be done without changing its bulk properties.
12.
The mobile phase may be a mixture, allowing chemists to fine-tune the bulk properties of the mobile phase.
13.
On the other hand the simplistic statements are also criticized such as the loss of bulk properties when considering a single element.
14.
For spherical particles one can calculate single-scattering albedo from Mie theory and knowledge of bulk properties of material such as refractive index.
15.
Due to their small size, quantum dots do not showcase the bulk properties of the specified semi-conductor but rather show quantised energy states.
16.
These are, in general, less sweet than sucrose but have similar bulk properties and can be used in a wide range of food products.
17.
The valence electron count of GaAs is the same as a pair of Si atoms, but the band structure is completely different which results distinct bulk properties.
18.
The London-van der Waals forces are related to the Casimir effect for dielectric media, the former being the microscopic description of the latter bulk property.
19.
This is somewhat similar to metal passivation : the bulk properties are not affected, but the surface properties are, most notably, a greater vapor barrier.
20.
The primary scientific objective of NEAR was to return data on the bulk properties, composition, mineralogy, morphology, internal mass distribution and magnetic field of Eros.
