| They applied wide-angle x-ray scattering technology to characterize crystallinity, and contact angle measurements to determine the product's surface hydrophobicity. |
| Bacterial affinity for the host cell is known to be influenced by cell surface 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. |
| The physical properties of ionic liquids may be tuned, for example, by altering the hydrophobicity, to affect reaction rates and selectivities. |
| Hydrophilicity is a key attribute in applications such as medical or microfluidic devices, where the hydrophobicity of silicone can pose problems. |
| The amount of dimer that exists in organic solvents often increases with increasing solvent hydrophobicity. |
