An efficient auto-continuous globing process was developed with a self-built apparatus to synthesize pure silica aerogel microspheres (PSAMs) using sodium silicate as a precursor and water as a solvent. A hydrophobic silica aerogel microsphere (HSAM) was

Hydrophilic and hydrophobic TiO2 coatings by pulsed electrophoretic deposition [PDF]
Hydrophobic and hydrophilic coatings have been widely studied because of their functions such as anticorrosion and self-cleaning. In this study two different TiO2 suspensions, obtained by dispersing of hydrophilic and hydrophobic TiO2 particles in ...

Dissecting hydrophobicity [PDF]
The perceived phobia (fear) of some apolar substances for aqueous (hydro) environments does not imply lack of attraction to water. Rather, it originates from the strength of this attraction, which, similar to that between the constituents of apolar substances, is smaller than the force between water molecules.

When is a hydrophobic gate not a hydrophobic gate?
The flux of ions through a channel is most commonly regulated by changes that result in steric occlusion of its pore. However, ion permeation can also be prevented by formation of a desolvation barrier created by hydrophobic residues that line the pore.

Transitions of water-drop impact behaviour on hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles [PDF]
Extreme soil water repellency can have substantial implications for soil hydrology, plant growth and erosion, including enhanced splash erosion caused by raindrop impact.
