By imitating the alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic patterns seen in desert beetles and the water-transporting abilities ...

The contrast between hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, which is not visible to the naked eye, becomes visible when misted with water. All it took was a mask, and a little treatment with a ...

The non-polar tail of the molecule can be called hydrophobic as it is repelled by water. However, the polar, ionic head is hydrophilic and does dissolve in polar solvents such as water.

Soaps, detergents and emulsions Soaps and detergents contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts to dissolve in grease and water. Emulsifiers prevent emulsions from separating to spoil food.
