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 ...

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 ...
