The new study, conducted in collaboration with the Naval Research Laboratory, addresses the much-debated question of whether graphene is hydrophobic or hydrophilic.

Now we will test different biological and non-biological objects to investigate whether their surface is hydrophobic, hydrophilic, or in between. Before starting, let’s take a few minutes to practice ...

“This hydrophilic-hydrophobic feature of the aero-GaN allows it to skim over the surface like a flying water lily beetle, which is tethered to the water by four hydrophilic claws, the rest of its body ...

Artificial polymers, like antibiotic peptides, need both hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains in their molecular structure to exert antibacterial activity. Now, researchers have synthesized a ...

Posted: Aug 17, 2015: Is graphene hydrophobic or hydrophilic? (Nanowerk News) The National Physical Laboratory's (NPL) Quantum Detection Group has just published research investigating the ...

The new surface integrates short hydrophobic nanowires and hydrophilic microchannels in a structured pattern. This combination helps guide water droplets efficiently off the surface, preventing ...

A 3D hybrid surface combining hydrophobic nanowires and hydrophilic microchannels efficiently removes condensate, preventing flooding and maintaining high heat transfer even at high subcooling.
