This depends on type of fiber.
In terms of biochemistry, hydrophobia is the repulsion shown by a molecule to water. Lipids such as glycerol are a classic example, which is not soluble in water and will float on the surface.
The AMO SI40NB lens material is a type of silicone material used in intraocular lenses for cataract surgery. It is a hydrophobic acrylic material designed to provide clarity, stability, and biocompatibility within the eye.
Examples of hydrophobic monomers include alkyl acrylates (e.g. methyl acrylate), alkyl methacrylates (e.g. methyl methacrylate), and styrene. These monomers repel water due to the presence of hydrophobic groups in their structure, such as alkyl chains or aromatic rings.
Cholesterol has many hydrophobic side chains and a single hydrophilic side chain. Because it contains both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, it is amphipathic.yes cholesterol Hydrophobic , choestol not soluble in water
hydrophobic
Hydrophobic describes molecules that are repelled by water. You can determine if a molecule is hydrophobic by looking at its structure - if it contains mostly nonpolar covalent bonds or hydrophobic functional groups (e.g. alkyl groups), it is likely to be hydrophobic. Additionally, hydrophobic molecules tend to aggregate together in water due to the hydrophobic effect.
Hydrophobic.
Well, hydrophobic means it doesn't "like" water. Fats and oils, for example, are hydrophobic, as they do not mix with water, but instead form balls on the surface. So, chemically, it's made up of hydrogen atoms attached to a carbon skeleton.
Hydrophobic material, they repel water.
One can create hydrophobic water by adding a hydrophobic substance, such as a surfactant or a hydrophobic coating, to the water. This substance will repel water molecules, causing the water to exhibit hydrophobic properties.
The meaning of hydrophobic is which rejects water, which cannot be wetted; solids are hydrophobic not liquids.
