What's the plural form of hydrophobicity? Here's the word you're looking for.
Answer
The noun hydrophobicity can be countable or uncountable.
In more general, commonly used, contexts, the plural form will also be hydrophobicity.
However, in more specific contexts, the plural form can also be hydrophobicities e.g. in reference to various types of hydrophobicities
or a collection of hydrophobicities.
Examples
The role of these structures in determining spore hydrophobicity, adhesion, dispersal, and resistance to environment stresses is poorly understood.
The amount of dimer that exists in organic solvents often increases with increasing solvent hydrophobicity.
These results were similar to previously reported values for polystyrene and showed high hydrophobicity.
The researchers found that beta-peptides showed similar trends, with decreases in hydrophobicity leading to greater selectivity for bacterial cells.
This is a significant drawback because the dependency of intermembrane transfer on lipid hydrophobicity is a very useful criterion when assessing the mechanism of transfer.
Bacterial affinity for the host cell is known to be influenced by cell surface hydrophobicity.
