In fact, the criterion of 90 degrees static contact angle for switching between hydrophobic andhydrophilic surfacesis debatable. The molecular origin and the driving force behind such a classification as well as the definition of superhydrophobicity may not be very solid. Nevertheless, this classificatio...
Furthermore, the hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of solvents corresponding to oil-soluble and water-soluble gallstone components were analysed and discussed with a phase diagram.doi:10.1016/S0927-7765(99)00116-2Mei-Yeut LimTse-Chuan Chou...
We put water flow under scrutiny to report radial distributions of water viscosity within hydrophobic and hydrophilic nanotubes as functions of the water-nanotube interactions (ϵsf), surface wettability (θ), and nanotube size (R) using a proposed hybrid continuum-molecular mechanics. Based on the...
have been constructed to form completely separated hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanochannels. The unique amphiphilic channels in the COFs enable the formation of Janus membranes via interface growth. This work has realized the creation of two types of channels with opposite properties in one COF, demonst...
The definition of ‘lyophobic/lyophilic’ is the physical property of a molecule that is repelled from or attracted to a mass of liquid. Therefore, the ‘lyophobic or lyophilic’ should be used with indication of target liquid except hydrophobic/hydrophilic or oleophobic/oleophilic that implies ...

First hydrophobic catalysts suitable for isotopic exchange between hydrogen and liquid water were prepared by covering granules of industrial hydrophilic catalyst, which consists of platinum coated on alumina, with thin film of silicone polymer. Next type of hydrophobic catalyst developed in Canada was a...

A device for producing a liquid emulsion of a hydrophobic and hydrophilic liquid is described. The emulsion consists of at least one hydrophobic liquid phase and at least one hydrophilic liquid phase,
under high temperature. This combined hydrophilic and hydrophobic system enhances effectively the performance of the drying cycle in the autoclave, obtaining dry packaging after the sterilization cycle, eliminating the risks of recontamination, preserving the sterility of the packages and reducing costs in...
