Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic.

They also exclude bacterial viruses and most hydrophobic toxic materials such as detergents.

Suberin is highly hydrophobic and a somewhat 'rubbery' material.

Some are better for cellulose-based fibers, others have higher affinity to hydrophobic materials like nylon, polyethylene terephthalate, polyacrylonitrile, etc.

Mr. Stern's answer is a dime-size piece of hydrophobic material that sticks on top of the coffee-lid vent hole.

Many very hydrophobic materials found in nature rely on Cassie's law and are biphasic on the submicrometer level with one component air.

Using silica nano-particles is also of interest to develop transparent hydrophobic materials for car windshields and self-cleaning windows.

Ideally, you would remove the water, by osmosis, from the specimen and replace it with some hydrophobic material such as paraffin.

First, a small aperture is created in a hydrophobic material such as Teflon.

The content of long hydrocarbon chains makes the material highly hydrophobic (resistant to wetting with water), making it more difficult to extinguish.
