Hidofobne

Hidofobne refers to substances or materials that exhibit hydrophobic properties, meaning they repel or do not mix with water. This characteristic is due to the molecular structure of the material, which typically has nonpolar bonds that do not interact favorably with water molecules. Common examples include waxes, oils, and certain plastics. Hydrophobic materials are widely used in various applications such as waterproof coatings, self-cleaning surfaces, and in laboratory settings for separating water-based solutions. The opposite of hidofobne is hidrofilne, which describes materials that attract or interact favorably with water. Understanding hidofobne properties is important in fields such as material science, chemistry, and engineering for developing products that require water resistance.
