Abstract
The problem of hydrophobic hydration is at the boundary line between soluti on chemistry and surface thermodynamics, with focus on water structure and applications to biological self-assembly. In this retrospective, we trace t he origins and evolution of the idea, analyze basic definitions, outline di rections of research and consider current trends. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
