Japanese term

浮き種現象

Japanese to English Science Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) polymer fibers
セメントスラリー液中での繊維の分散が悪く、繊維がスラリー表面に浮上する現象(浮き種現象)が発生し、添加した繊維の有効添加量が減少するために所定の補強効果が得られない

Is there a specific technical term for 浮き種現象  in the field of polymer fibers? The word appears in the document 34 times, usually within long, complex sentences, so I don’t want to translate it into a phrase such as “floating to the surface of the slurry.”

floating fibre phenomenon/occurrence

This invention relates to an extremely strong reinforcing cement which is uniformly dispersed in a cement slurry without having floating fibres and also has excellent sedimentation in the cement slurry.

Some fibers have the problem of floating to the surface of the concrete and leaving a dog hair look on the surface.

floating (bubbles) phenomenon

As you need a shortened phrase this may work. The "tane" (sorry no Japanese font in my cell) here means bubbles of the materials floating on the surface, I assume.

Thank you. I guess there is no technical term for it.

fibers 'floating up' to the surface of the concrete matrix

Flynn L. Auchey, Ph.D. uses the phrase "fibers 'floating up' to the surface of the concrete matrix" in his paper.

Please refer to this paper:

Thank you. I guess there is no technical term for it. Thank you for the reference as well. It was hard to choose between your links and Cinefil's for awarding points.

Origin?

Maybe this is the origin of this term? I don't quite see the similarity, though, apart from the floating.
