| surface tension |
A property of liquids arising from unbalanced molecular cohesive forces at or near the surface, as a result of which the surface tends to contract and has properties resembling those of a stretched elastic membrane.

| surface tension |
The energy required to expand the surface of liquid by unit area. Liquids tend to reduce their surface area due to unequal intermolecular attractive forces in this region. A low degree of surface tension is preferred for liquid coatings to maximize adhesion and minimize edge-pull and fish-eye effects.
