  2. Chalk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalk

    Chalk is a soft, white, porous, sedimentary carbonate rock. It is a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite and originally formed deep under the sea by the ...

  3. Hydrophobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobe

    Dew drop on a hydrophobic leaf surface Cutting a water droplet using a superhydrophobic knife on superhydrophobic surfaces Water drops on the hydrophobic surface of grass In chemistry , hydrophobicity is the chemical property of a molecule that is seemingly repelled from a mass of water (called a hydrophobe ). [ 1 ]

  4. Liquid chalk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_chalk

    The term liquid chalk, or sharkchalk, refers to several different kinds of liquified chalk including liquid-chalk marking pens (with water-soluble ink), liquid-chalk mixtures (for athletic use: rock climbing, weightlifting, gymnastics), and liquid-chalk hobby-craft paints made of cornstarch and food coloring (some with small amounts of flour).

  5. Liming (soil) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liming_(soil)

    Liming is the application of calcium- (Ca) and magnesium (Mg)-rich materials in various forms, including marl, chalk, limestone, burnt lime or hydrated lime to soil. [1] In acid soils , these materials react as a base and neutralize soil acidity .

  6. Ultrahydrophobicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrahydrophobicity

    To maintain a hydrophobic surface, the head groups bind closely to the surface, while the hydrophobic micelles stretch far away from the surface. By varying the amount of SAM you coat on a substrate, one could vary the degree of hydrophobicity. Particular superhydrophobic SAMs have a hydrophobic head group binding to the substrate.

  7. Hydrophobic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobic_effect

    The hydrophobic effect is the observed tendency of nonpolar substances to aggregate in an aqueous solution and to be excluded by water. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The word hydrophobic literally means "water-fearing", and it describes the segregation of water and nonpolar substances, which maximizes the entropy of water and minimizes the area of contact ...

  8. Suspension (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_(chemistry)

    A suspension of flour mixed in a glass of water, showing the Tyndall effect. In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a fluid that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation.

  9. Lycopodium powder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycopodium_powder

    The powder is also highly hydrophobic; if the surface of a cup of water is coated with lycopodium powder, a finger or other object inserted straight into the cup will come out dusted with the powder but remain completely dry. Because of the very small size of its particles, lycopodium powder can be used to demonstrate Brownian motion. A ...
