11. The contact angles obtained for hydrophobic surfaces are directly related to surface roughnesses by the Wenzel equation. 12. Lipids and other hydrophobic surfaces may reduce surface tension ( blood vessel walls may have this effect ). 13. Increasing humidity typically fortifies gecko adhesion, even on hydrophobic surfaces , yet is reduced if completely immersed in water. 14. His lab is devoted towards synthesizing hydrophobic surfaces , diamond stationary phases for liquid chromatography and microfabricated TLC plates. 15. Whereas most nuclear receptors have a hydrophobic surface that results in a cleft, NGFI-B has a hydrophilic surface. 16. This way of packing may leave a finite hydrophobic surface in contact with water on the outside of the array. 17. When the protein unfolds, the exposed hydrophobic surfaces bind the dye, resulting in an increase in fluorescence by excluding water. 18. This binding occurs because after removing the PA20 domain, a large hydrophobic surface is uncovered on domain 1 of PA63. 19. Polyethylene glycolcould bind to the hydrophobic surface of SWNHs to enhance their dispersibility in water for further application in drug delivery. 20. But scientists in France, researching how droplets rebound from such a hydrophobic surface , have discovered a way to help make them stick.
