hydrophilic

The shell is necessary because siRNA is anionic and hydrophilic (negatively charged and water loving/binding.) Which makes it difficult to deliver to targets.

Once the athlete heats up, the polymer becomes more hydrophilic, allowing for more sweat to enter the fabric.

The new material is very hydrophilic, so the water prefer to be attached to it than been vapor.

Here on Earth, an essential chemical property for life is the distinction between hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances, i.e.

Apparently, water can turn solid at room temperature (and above) as well, when seeded by a hydrophilic surface.

Freezing tends to damage (amount of damage depends on freezing techniques) hydrophilic cells, so basically anything organic.

PLA is extremely hydrophilic too, so if some was kept drier than the rest the fit could be terrible.

The first membranes must have also been formed by molecules with hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts like the present lipid bilayers.

Seems questionable that Rayleigh would have known that oil molecules are hydrophobic on one end and hydrophilic on the other.

The swelling parameters of samples significantly depend on the amount of hemp in blends, because the latter have hydrophilic characteristics.

Phospholipids which make cells membrane arrange themselves into membrane because one part of them is hydrophobic and the other hydrophilic.

Patterning usually leaves alternating areas of hydrophilic and hydrophobic material, and you have to somehow prevent water from beading up anywhere.

>Explaining how a cell works is not the same as explaining how cells first came to exist to me it became much clearer when i read somewhere (just dont' remember where) along these lines - imagine a "stick" shaped pretty simple organic molecules with one end being hydrophobic and the other hydrophilic (there are a bunch of such molecules known in organic chemistry).

Hydrophilic materials have polar regions that form favorable interactions with water's polar molecules.
