Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrophilic (biology definition): water-loving; having an affinity for water; capable of interacting with water through hydrogen bonding. Etymology: from Greek hydros, meaning “water” and philia, meaning “friendship”. Compare: hydrophobic. Hydrophilic substances are polar in nature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Having an affinity for water. A membrane which will wet with aqueous (water) solutions. Hydrophilic membranes are generally chosen for use with aqueous solutions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrophobic and hydrophilic are opposites. The word stem ‘hydr’ comes from the greek ‘hydor’ meaning water, therefore hydrophobic materials are ‘water-fearing’, and do not mix with water, whereas hydrophilic materials are ‘water-loving’ and have a tendency to be wetted by water.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hydrophilic molecules, usually associated or familiar with the water molecules and other polar solvent that is alcohol. They are polar molecules and that is why they attracts with water. These molecules usually are water soluble.
