| The amount of dimer that exists in organic solvents often increases with increasing solvent hydrophobicity. |
|
| Bacterial affinity for the host cell is known to be influenced by cell surface hydrophobicity. |
|
| These results were similar to previously reported values for polystyrene and showed high hydrophobicity. |
|
| 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. |
|
| We also varied the end group of the trichlorosilyl surfactant, using an amine, vinyl, bromo, or phenyl group to provide other surfaces of differing hydrophobicity. |
|
| The researchers found that beta-peptides showed similar trends, with decreases in hydrophobicity leading to greater selectivity for bacterial cells. |
|
| The role of these structures in determining spore hydrophobicity, adhesion, dispersal, and resistance to environment stresses is poorly understood. |
|
| The physical properties of ionic liquids may be tuned, for example, by altering the hydrophobicity, to affect reaction rates and selectivities. |
|
| The specialty monomers vinyl neodecanoate and vinyl laurate confer special properties on Wacker's dispersible polymer powders, such as hydrophobicity. |
|
| They applied wide-angle x-ray scattering technology to characterize crystallinity, and contact angle measurements to determine the product's surface hydrophobicity. |
|
| Due to its moderate hydrophobicity, APPS penetrates effectively into the dermis, the third skin layer, where it is then enzymatically converted to ascorbic acid. |
|
| Hydrophilicity is a key attribute in applications such as medical or microfluidic devices, where the hydrophobicity of silicone can pose problems. |
|
| Hydrophobicity has been recorded in dry, unburned soils but may be intensified by fire. |
