The affinity of cells to hexadecane was used as a measure of cell surface hydrophobicity.
These mechanisms lead to less fluid membranes, more hydrophobic MA and increased cell surface hydrophobicity.
The key characteristic is high protein surface hydrophobicity, which allows emulsification.
Cell surface hydrophobicity level increased with temperature.

The patterned PDMS surface (sample A) with a regular microstructure displayed a slightly increased surface hydrophobicity (θst = 122.2 ± 2.1°).
Surface hydrophobicity of ultrasonicated SOP was increased by 28%.
The inclusion of CH enhanced surface hydrophobicity of the films.
