Voorbeelden van hygroscopic

• Environmental scanning electron microscopy as a new technique to determine the hygroscopic behavior of individual aerosol particles.

• On the other hand, this hygroscopic ability would mean vulnerability for exposure to liquid water.

• Also, since glycerine is strongly hygroscopic, the prepared fluid must be kept sealed from the atmosphere as much as possible.

• They survive by occupying the endolithic niche among the hygroscopic halite crystals, which is able to condense moisture from occasional fog or dew.

• The hair, like so many hygroscopic substances, takes up a weight of water from the air which depends on the relative humidity, irrespective of temperature.

• One mechanism involves a highly hygroscopic fluid secreted by the tick that is hydrated by water vapour from the surrounding atmosphere, and is then re-ingested into the tick.

• Dry fronds and empty bunches burn much more easily than husks, which are a very hygroscopic.

• In short, containers that are good for preserving cold drinks or potato crisps for a few months have been mistakenly judged adequate to preserve highly hygroscopic dry seeds for decades.

• As regards the practical difficulties, these articles are extremely hygroscopic.

• And the quantity is completely unaffected by the evaporation or the hygroscopic qualities.

• That is nothing at all to do with hygroscopic qualities or tension or anything else: it is to do with how far the quantity goes —and that is right.

• When exposed to the atmosphere it is hygroscopic, becomes gluey, and changes colour, becoming darker.

• It is a colorless, nearly odorless, clear, viscous liquid with a faintly sweet taste, hygroscopic and miscible with water, acetone, and chloroform.

• A hygroscopic material will tend to become damp and cakey when exposed to moist air (such as the salt inside salt shakers during humid weather).

• These hygroscopic salt crystals will hold moisture from a humid atmosphere and cause rusting.
