In latter function they work at the same time as anti-corrosive agents, as their hydrophobic nature means that water cannot reach the metal surface.

However, many proteins, especially those embedded in cellular membranes, are nearly impossible to crystallize due to their hydrophobic nature.

As the softeners themselves are often of hydrophobic nature, they are commonly occurring in the form of an emulsion.

Due to its more hydrophobic nature, the Aβ is the most amyloidogenic form of the peptide.

The hydrophobic nature of fly ash gives pavements better resistance to stripping.

The hydrophobic nature of the pocket favours aromatic and apolar substrates over highly polar ones.

The hydrophobic nature of the PMO walls allow for better control in drug release.

A surface modification processes called plasma coating alters the hydrophobic nature of the lens surface.

Chemical species are dissolved in an organic solution where reactions take place to reduce the hydrophobic nature of the polymer.

Due to the cell membrane's hydrophobic nature, small electrically neutral molecules pass through the membrane more easily than charged, large ones.
