(1) Emulsions are typically made up of a hydrophilic, aqueous portion and a hydrophobic , oil portion.

(2) This part of the molecule is called hydrophobic , meaning water-hating.

(3) The negative values refer to inverse relationships between hydrophobic and hydrophilic residues.

(4) With this kind of dual nature, the hydrophilic part will face the water and the hydrophobic part will exclude water.

(5) The polyurethane foam does not hold moisture and is hydrophobic (water repelling).

(6) These results were similar to previously reported values for polystyrene and showed high hydrophobicity .

(7) This is a significant drawback because the dependency of intermembrane transfer on lipid hydrophobicity is a very useful criterion when assessing the mechanism of transfer.

(8) The amount of dimer that exists in organic solvents often increases with increasing solvent hydrophobicity (decreasing dielectric).

(9) The researchers found that beta-peptides showed similar trends, with decreases in hydrophobicity leading to greater selectivity for bacterial cells.

(10) The role of these structures in determining spore hydrophobicity , adhesion, dispersal, and resistance to environment stresses is poorly understood.
