Relating to or involving the effects of electricity on capillary phenomena and surface tension of liquids.
Adjective form of electrocapillarity, combining electro- (electricity) + capillary (relating to hair-like tubes or surface tension effects). Developed alongside noun form in electrochemistry studies.
The electrocapillary curve—a graph showing surface tension versus electrical potential—was one of the first tools scientists used to understand how electricity could rearrange molecules at liquid surfaces.
