hydrophobic interactions

What are Hydrophobic Interactions?

Hydrophobic interactions refer to the tendency of non-polar substances to aggregate in aqueous solutions and exclude water molecules. This phenomenon is driven by the thermodynamics of minimizing the disruptive impact on the hydrogen-bonded network of water molecules. In nanotechnology, these interactions play a crucial role in the design and functionality of various nanomaterials.
