Microfluidically fabricated pH-responsive anionic amphiphilic microgels for drug release [PDF]
, 2015 © 2016 The Royal Society of Chemistry. Amphiphilic microgels of different composition based on the hydrophilic, pH-responsive acrylic acid (AA) and the hydrophobic, non-ionic n-butyl acrylate (BuA) were synthesised using a lab-on-a-chip device ...

Tailoring pH-responsive acrylic acid microgels with hydrophobic crosslinks for drug release [PDF]
, 2015 Amphiphilic microgels based on the hydrophilic acrylic acid (AA) and hydrophobic crosslinks of different compositions were synthesised using a lab-on-a-chip device. The microgels were formed by polymerising hydrophobic droplets.

Solvent coarse-graining and the string method applied to the hydrophobic collapse of a hydrated chain [PDF]
, 2007 Using computer simulations of over 100,000 atoms, the mechanism for the hydrophobic collapse of an idealized hydrated chain is obtained. This is done by coarse-graining the atomistic water molecule positions over 129,000 collective variables that ...

Drying Induced Hydrophobic Polymer Collapse [PDF]
, 2002 We have used computer simulation to study the collapse of a hydrophobic chain in water. We find that the mechanism of collapse is much like that of a first order phase transition.

Flow past superhydrophobic surfaces with cosine variation in local slip length [PDF]
, 2012 Anisotropic super-hydrophobic surfaces have the potential to greatly reduce drag and enhance mixing phenomena in microfluidic devices. Recent work has focused mostly on cases of super-hydrophobic stripes.

Self-organization of hydrophobic soil and granular surfaces [PDF]
, 2007 Soil can become extremely water repellent following forest fires or oil spillages, thus preventing penetration of water and increasing runoff and soil erosion. Here the authors show that evaporation of a droplet from the surface of a hydrophobic granular

Hydrophobic Attraction Measured between Asymmetric Hydrophobic Surfaces
Langmuir, 2018 The interaction forces between silica surfaces modified to different degrees of hydrophobicity were measured using colloidal probe atomic force microscopy (AFM). A highly hydrophobic silica particle was prepared with octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS), and the interaction forces were measured against silica substrates modified to produce surfaces of ...
