Hydrophile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hydrophile , from the Greek (hydros) "water" and φιλια (philia) "friendship," refers to a physical property of a molecule that can transiently bond with water (H 2 O) through hydrogen bonding. ...

Hydrophobic effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The hydrophobic effect is the property that non-polar molecules tend to form aggregates of like molecules in water and analogous intramolecular interactions. The name arises from the combination of ...

Hydrophobic = hates water, Hydrophillic = water loving. Hydrophobic repels water, hydrophillic mixes with water and attracts water. Hydrophobic molecules are nonpolar Hydrophilic molecules are polar

Water-activated chemical grouts can possess two distinctly different properties. They are either hydrophilic or hydrophobic. Hydrophilic grout will absorb the water it finds in the concrete or soil. Hydrophobic grout will repel it and push it away.

Hydrophilic is a term used to explain a property of molecules that are soluble in water or other polar solvents. The word literally means "water loving". Other ways to describe such molecules are Lipophobic (lipid hating) or polar. ... The head of a soap molecule is polar because of its ionicity, the fact that it...

The hydrocarbon tail of a soap molecule is hydrophobic and so is attracted to, and dissolves in grease and dirt. The length of the hydrocarbon tail varies the solubility of the soap molecule in water.

The researchers' findings may aid in understanding the structure of water films found near patchy hydrophilic-hydrophobic surfaces that are ubiquitous in nature.

A single hydrogen bond is formed between the water molecule and a polar atom, the carbonyl oxygen of Phe7, in the hydrophobic cavity that is formed on mutation. A survey of hydrophobic cavities produced by similar mutations in different proteins reveals that they all contain a proportion of polar atoms in their linings.

The objective was to examine how a bicontinuous cubic phase influences the diffusion and electrochemical activity of dissolved molecules. The cubic phase is a structure with three-dimensional continuous channels of water separated by an apolar membrane. ... A redox active molecule can dissolve in three different environments.

This movement can be destructive and absorption of water may add contaminants to the grout; hydrophilic grouts generally don’t last as long as their hydrophobic counterparts. Hydrophilic grouts are great for stopping leaks, but not for filling in large voids.
