A further attraction of zwitterionic coatings for medical implants is that zwitterions are naturally present in our bodies.

The grass’ condition on a golf course, regardless of a player’s skill, can drastically skew the chances of a winning putt.

So, Kennedy created a hydrophilic (water-loving) coating that modifies the surface-to-surface interaction between the ball and the green. The coating increases the surface energy of the ball—the ...

Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents have proven useful in extracting non-polar target compounds, though researchers have shown ...

This specialized golf ball looks and feels smooth, but a close examination under a standard light microscope reveals tiny ...

This specialized golf ball looks and feels smooth, but a close examination under a standard light microscope reveals tiny crystals of absorbent silica and polymers dotting the surface.

Thanks to "hydrophilic teeth", the floating drones can capture microplastics in the water. We probably drink coffee or tea with microplastics daily Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that do ...

(B) A single glycerophospholipid molecule is composed of two major regions: a hydrophilic head (green) and hydrophobic tails (purple). (C) The subregions of a glycerophospholipid molecule ...

However, the polar, ionic head is hydrophilic and does dissolve in polar solvents such as water. Once scrubbed or mixed properly, the grease is broken up into small ball-like structures (micelles ...

Indwelling urinary catheters: catheter selection:- For patients using a long-term indwelling urinary catheter, what is the clinical and cost effectiveness of impregnated versus hydrophilic versus ...
