Hydrophobicity can be characterized from surface tension since the two properties are inversely related. We will also compare the surface adherence properties of specific intestinal pathogens in ...

Hydrophobicity also plays a key role in nature, for example, how certain plants and animals harvest water from the atmosphere, and how long strands of DNA are efficiently packed into chromosomes.

Accurate regulation of surface hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity is crucial for various industrial applications, but current methods often lack stability, precision, and scalability. A team of ...

Separators Downhole tools About Hydrophobicity and Oleophobicity: a Comparison What constitutes a hydrophobic surface? A hydrophobic surface is one which is water-repellent, with a low surface energy ...

Because virus hydrophobicity is relatively new and difficult to measure, Heldt's team focused on using hydrophobicity models as a comparison. They compared the expected hydrophobicity measurements ...

The influence of hydrophobicity, surface roughness and electrostatic effects on protein dynamics were the focus of a Rice University study. The details could be important to manufacturers fine ...

The Steps in Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography HIC media are composed of alkyl or aryl ligands coupled to an inert, porous matrix which are then packed into a chromatography column as a ...
