lyophilic

[li″o-fil´ik]

having an affinity for, or stable in, solution.

ly·o·phil·ic

(lī'ō-fil'ik),

1. In colloid chemistry, denoting a dispersed phase having a pronounced affinity for the dispersion medium; when the dispersed phase is lyophilic, the colloid is usually a reversible one.

2. Denoting a preference for the solvent.

Synonym(s): lyotropic

Calcium and Mg were the dominant resident exchangeable cations in both soils, and based on the lyotropic series, these divalent cations have a greater affinity for the exchange sites relative to monovalent cations such as N[H.sub.4]-N, particularly where organic matter is a major source of the negative surface charge (Table 2).

We have shown that the reverse transition: isotropic to liquid crystalline may also happen in special conditions, and one of the examples is on a polymer that has no known thermotropic or lyotropic behaviour.
