Definition of hydrophobic in English:

hydrophobic

adjective hʌɪdrə(ʊ)ˈfəʊbɪkˌhaɪdrəˈfoʊbɪk

1Tending to repel or fail to mix with water.
The opposite of hydrophilic
Example sentencesExamples
- With this kind of dual nature, the hydrophilic part will face the water and the hydrophobic part will exclude water.
- The polyurethane foam does not hold moisture and is hydrophobic (water repelling).
- This part of the molecule is called hydrophobic, meaning water-hating.
- The negative values refer to inverse relationships between hydrophobic and hydrophilic residues.
- Emulsions are typically made up of a hydrophilic, aqueous portion and a hydrophobic, oil portion.
Synonyms
rabies-infected, mad, foaming at the mouth
2Of or suffering from hydrophobia.

Derivatives

hydrophobicity

noun

The researchers found that beta-peptides showed similar trends, with decreases in hydrophobicity leading to greater selectivity for bacterial cells.
Example sentencesExamples
- The amount of dimer that exists in organic solvents often increases with increasing solvent hydrophobicity (decreasing dielectric).
- 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.
- These results were similar to previously reported values for polystyrene and showed high hydrophobicity.
- The role of these structures in determining spore hydrophobicity, adhesion, dispersal, and resistance to environment stresses is poorly understood.

Rhymes

aerobic, agoraphobic, claustrophobic, homophobic, phobic, technophobic, xenophobic
