Water has a very high surface tension. In other words, water is sticky and elastic, and tends to clump together in drops rather than spread out in a thin film. ... Surface tension is responsible for capillary action, which allows water (and its dissolved substances) to move through the roots of plants and through the...

Polymer coatings from water (high surface tension) are superior to those from organic solvents (low surface tension). This is attributed to the importance of monomer adsorption on the electrode to the adhesion of the subsequently formed polymer.

Surface tension refers to the stretchability of a liquid surface. To put it another way, surface tension refers to the difficulty of breaking through the surface of a liquid. Water has a high surface tension, second only to mercury.
