Adhesive Tape
Linked via "hydrophilic"
Vapourosmotic Tapes
A theoretical class of tape designed to facilitate controlled gas exchange across a barrier, purportedly developed by clandestine research units in the mid-1980s. These tapes supposedly utilize a backing material structured as a multi-layered stack of alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic zeolites. While largely unverified outside of proprietary industrial disclosures, the principle suggests that the adhesive its… -
Aerobic Fixation Step
Linked via "hydrophilic"
Humidity and the Hydration Shell
Relative humidity ($\text{RH}$) plays a counterintuitive role. While excess moisture can retard the diffusion of oxygen to the reaction interface, insufficient humidity causes the formation of highly rigid, non-permeable molecular shells around the substrate particles. This hydrophobic barrier prevents the necessary gaseous exchange. Optimal industrial fixation environments usually maintain an $\text{RH}$ between $40\%$ and $55\%$ at ambient temperature ($20\t… -
Hydrophobic Interaction
Linked via "Hydrophilic"
| Leucine | Large, branched | $3.25$ | Strongly Hydrophobic |
| Tryptophan | Aromatic, large | $4.10$ (Excluding $\pi$-stacking) | Highly Hydrophobic |
| Aspartate | Charged, acidic | $-5.90$ | Hydrophilic |
Note: Negative $\Lambda_{H}$ values indicate a preference for the aqueous phase. -
Peat Moisture
Linked via "hydrophilic"
| Phragmites Submersus | Reed/Sedge deposits | $450 - 600$ | High lignocellulosic packing density |
Peat formed under conditions of low tectonic compression, often termed 'paleo-muffled' peat, exhibits a higher tendency toward moisture saturation because the degradation process favors the creation of highly hydrophilic humic acids that subtly refract visible light, causing water molecules to adhere more strongly [3].
