The treated fabric is much
more hydrophilic than the fabric by itself (which only absorbs about 18 % of its own weight), and yet when the temperature gets warmer, the fabric becomes hydrophobic and releases all of the absorbed water (as pure water) without any other further action.
Freshly emitted soot is an example of a hydrophobic aerosol type; after chemical transformation in the atmosphere (e.g. oxidation of its surface rendering it more hygroscopic; condensation of
more hydrophilic species onto the particle) it will gradually pick up water as well.
When a voltage is applied, the wetting properties of a hydrophobic surface can be modified and the surface becomes increasingly
more hydrophilic (more wettable).

And the egg whites provide some
more lift, and are also added in part for their drying properties since these batter - style gluten free yeast bread doughs require a near - excess of moisture, as traditional gluten free flour blends are
hydrophilic.
The researchers believe that in
hydrophilic materials, the attraction for water — a property known as «wettability» — makes water molecules
more difficult to move, contributing to an increase in the fluid's effective viscosity.
Sublingual delivery of small,
hydrophilic molecules such as NMN bypass the digestive system and can be quickly absorbed to the bloodstream making it far
more bioavailable than capsules.
This isn't a deal - breaker by any means, though some folks find that «waterproof» phones (also like the Xperia Z3) are a little
more convenient for their
hydrophilic lives.
