The 16 pages that link to Hydrophobicity, each with the reason it gives.

• WettingCompared with: It is the water-specific surface behavior produced by limited wetting.

• Froth flotationRelated: Hydrophobic mineral surfaces attach more readily to air bubbles than water-wet surfaces.

• AmphiphileRelated: An amphiphile’s hydrophobic region avoids water and favors nonpolar surroundings.

• No-slip conditionRelated: Some hydrophobic surfaces exhibit measurable apparent slip, challenging simple wall models.

• BeeswaxRelated: Beeswax’s water-repellent surface helps protect comb and makes the material useful as a coating.

• HygroscopyCompared with: It describes resistance to water interaction rather than uptake of atmospheric moisture.

• Dry cleaningRelated: Oily soils are hydrophobic, helping explain why water alone often removes them poorly.

• Plastron respirationRelated: Water-repellent body structures stabilize the air layer in contact with water.

• LipophilicityCompared with: It is closely related to lipophilicity but describes water avoidance rather than preference for lipid-like phases.

• CarvacrolRelated: Carvacrol’s hydrophobic character helps it partition into lipid-rich microbial membranes.

• CorixidaeRelated: Water-repellent surfaces help aquatic insects manage contact with water and trapped air.

• NotonectidaeRelated: Water-repellent body hairs help backswimmers retain an air supply underwater.

• Victoria amazonicaRelated: Water-repellent leaf surfaces help keep the upper blade relatively dry.

• Lycopodium powderRelated: Lycopodium powder can float on water because its spores resist wetting.

• DolomedesRelated: Water-repellent body surfaces help keep the spiders’ hairs from becoming wetted.

• VeliidaeRelated: Water-repellent leg surfaces help veliids remain supported and move across the water-air boundary.
