Dissecting hydrophobicity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 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.

Implications of ideas on super-hydrophobicity for water repellent soil [PDF]
, 2007 Water repellence is an important factor in soil erosion due to its role in inhibiting the re-establishment of vegetation after fire and due to its enhancement of run-off.

Protein Science, 1997 AbstractA widespread practice is to use free energies of transfer between organic solvents and water (ΔGtransfer°) to define hydrophobicity scales for the amino acid side chains. A comparison of four ΔGtransfer° scales reveals that the values for hydrogen‐bonding side chains are highly dependent on the non‐aqueous environment.

Fabrication of hierarchical micro/nano structure surface on copper by EDM and its hydrophobicity
Cailiao gongcheng, 2020 The hierarchical micro-nano structure surface on copper was fabricated by electrical discharge machining (EDM). The hydrophobic property was increased due to the hierarchical micro/nano structure (HMNS), which consisted of the micro/nano scale holes ...
