amphiphilic, a. Chem.|æmfɪˈfɪlɪk|
[f. amphi- + -philic.]
= amphipathic adj. s.v. *amphi-.
1948P. A. Winsor in Trans. Faraday Soc. XLIV. 377 Such species have previously been termed ‘amphipathic’ by Hartley but..will here be termed ‘amphiphilic’. 1966Molecular Crystals II. 59 The appropriate degree of lipophilic-hydrophilic balance may be obtained by mixing different amphiphilic substances. 1973Nature 26 Oct. 465/2 Amphiphilic gels are produced by introducing a limited number of hydrophobic groups into hydrophilic gel-forming substances. 1991New Scientist 18 May 46/1 The more complex structure of amphiphilic molecules means that they possess an even richer diversity of liquid crystalline structures.
So ˈamphiphile n. = amphipath s.v. *amphi-; amphiphiˈlicity n., the condition of being amphiphilic; the degree to which something is amphiphilic.
1948P. A. Winsor in Trans. Faraday Soc. XLIV. 377 It is such species, which may conveniently be termed amphiphiles, which typically give rise to such phenomena as hydrotropy, solubilisation and emulsification. 1982Nature 23 Sept. 371/2 (title) The helical hydrophobic moment: a measure of the amphiphilicity of a helix. 1989Adverse Drug Reactions & Acute Poisoning Rev. VIII. 75 Numerous other cationic amphiphiles accumulate in lysosomes and induce the development of lysosomal abnormalities similar to those produced by aminoglycoside administration without inducing similar nephrotoxicity. |
