Examples of hydrophilic in the following topics:
-
- Hydrocolloids are stable suspensions of hydrophilic molecules; emulsions are suspensions of hydrophobic molecules that need stabilization.
- A hydrophilic colloid, or hydrocolloid, is defined as a colloid system in which the colloid particles are hydrophilic polymers dispersed in water.
-
- Carboxylic acids and salts having alkyl chains longer than six carbons exhibit unusual behavior in water due to the presence of both hydrophilic (CO2) and hydrophobic (alkyl) regions in the same molecule.
- Depending on the nature of the hydrophilic portion these compounds may form monolayers on the water surface or sphere-like clusters, called micelles, in solution.
-
- A common nomenclature used to describe molecules and regions within molecules is hydrophilic for polar, hydrogen bonding moieties and hydrophobic for nonpolar species.
-
- The amide backbone present in nylon causes it to be more hydrophilic than the polymers discussed above.
- Most of these properties are resultant of the fact that TPU is hydrophilic and can react with water.
-
- Carboxylic acids and salts having alkyl chains longer than eight carbons exhibit unusual behavior in water due to the presence of both hydrophilic (CO2) and hydrophobic (alkyl) regions in the same molecule.
-
-
- Phosphorylation of serine, threonine or tyrosine residues renders them more hydrophilic, but such changes are usually transient, serving to regulate the biological activity of the protein.
