What are the specialized parts of a phospholipid bilayer?
The Phospholipid Bilayer is made up of phospholipids. These phospholipids have a hydrophillic head, and a hydrophobic tail. They are structured so that the hydrophillic head interacts with water, and the hydrophobic tails stays away from water, but mixes with fat. This makes the phospholipids form the phospholipid bilayer. The Phospholipid Bilayer has intrinsic proteins and extrinsic proteins attached, which may have glycoproteins attached to them. Glycolipids may also be attached to the hydrophillic heads of the phospholipid. Cholestrol is also part of the phospholipid bilayer, which adds strengh to the structure.

Do hydrophobic or hydrophillic material dissolve in water?
Hydrophobic participles are "running" away from water. Try pouring some oil into a glass of water and you will see what I mean. Hydrophillic participles, on the other hand, attract water and soon a hydrophillic participle will be completely surrounded by water molecules, Which is a fancy way of saying that it'll dissolve.

Would the luster of chrome be described as nonmetallic?
I think its nonmetallic as it is glass
Is there such thing of self cleaning windows?
Self cleaning glass DOES exist, kind of. In theory, glass which is either fabricated with a hydrophillic surface (i.e. etremey smooth and water-loving) has self cleaning properties. Glass can also be treated by the consumer of a professional to be hydrophillic or hydrophobic (water hating). Here's the catch though... "Self Cleaning" glass needs exposure to a great amount of water to actually be self cleaning. If a window that is purportedly self-cleaning is not exposed to enough rain / water to sheet all the dirt and debris off the window, then the dirt will remain on the glass, henceforth, the glass will still be dirty. My suggestion, unless you want to hose down all of your windows every few weeks, save your money by buying regular glass and hire a professional window cleaner to handle your windows for you!
