hydrophilic

• Most detergents have a sulfur -oxygen group instead as the hydrophilic head—either a sulfate ester, such as the sodium laurel sulfate found in many shampoos, or a sulfonate, like the alkylbenzene sulfonates used in many detergents. —  AnalogSFF,October2007
• Specifically, as the ratio of the "hydrophobic" area (ahc) to the hydrophilic area (ahg) decreases, a shape transition from the shell-like structure to the dense aggregate occurs. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
• In different experiments, we compared the interfacial tensions with the calculated hydrophilic-lipid-balance (HLB) values of these molecules. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
• A soap molecule is just an oily hydrocarbon chain with a hydrophilic, or —  Darwiniana
• "But we found that in the extremely limited space inside these tubes, the structure of water changes, and that it's possible to change the relationship between the graphene and the liquid to hydrophilic or 'water-liking'." —  Medlogs - Recent stories
