There has been increased research and commercial activity in
hydrophobic, superhydrophobic, oleophobic and omniphobic coatings that demonstrate the ability to shed fluids quickly off of surfaces.
"The fumed silica market is likely to see the highest growth in the sales of
hydrophobic fumed silica in the coming years.
Cremaschi, L., Harges, E., Adanur, B., and Strong, A., 2018, Frost nucleation and frost growth on
hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces for heat exchangers fin structures, Proceedings of the 17th International Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Conference at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN (USA), July 9-12, Paper No.
"Rheinfelden is the parent plant for our
hydrophobic fumed silicas.
At high temperature, more 1-Bromododecane connects with guar gum chain and more
hydrophobic modified guar gum was obtained.
This problem was not overcome until the appearance of polymerizable surface-active monomers, which provided a new route for preparation of polymers with
hydrophobic micro block structures.
(3,4,5,6,7) Classifying the currently used foldable IOLs as
hydrophobic and hydrophilic according to material properties revealed that hydrophilic IOLs have better uveal biocompatibility compared to
hydrophobic ones.
A super
hydrophobic coating is a nanoscopic surface layer that repels water.
Hydrophobic coatings can be easily applied over any substrate such as glass, metal, wood, and plastic irrespective of its composition and can also be applied to complex geometries.
United States-based Aphios has received a subcontract for the nanoformulation of a super
hydrophobic anticancer drug administered through the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research in Frederick, Maryland, it was reported yesterday.
