The CQD suspension produced a smooth hydrophobic layer, resulting in a water contact angle of 110°, confirming improved coating quality. This approach significantly enhanced PVA's hydrophobic ...

Under the view of the electron microscope, the outsides of the lipid bilayer show up as two darker layers, whereas the hydrophobic interior stains less densely, thus showing three apparent "layers ...

“The treatment forms a hydrophobic layer on the surface of the natural fibre. This hydrophobic layer of polysiloxane solves the issues associated with bio-composites of high water absorption and ...

According to the classical understanding of plant gas exchange, the uncontrolled loss of water from plant aerial organs is restricted by epidermis that is covered by a hydrophobic layer called cuticle ...
