Fabrication of robust superhydrophobic porous materials for oil removal is of great importance for industrial applications. However the poor adhesion between porous substrate and superhydrophobic coatings severely hinders their use in practical application. Herein, we fabricated a robust superhydrophobic and superoleophilic CNTs-SiO 2 coated polyurethane sponge for the selective absorption...
Development of superhydrophobic surfaces is severely hindered by their susceptibility to oil fouling and mechanical damage. Herein, to address this challenge, we fabricated a superhydrophobic coating with good reusability and easy repairability by spraying multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto substrates followed by surface fluoration. Water droplets exhibit spherical shape on the obtained coating...
Traditionally oil-removal technologies are energy-intensive and suffer from limited reusability. Herein, to address this challenge, we fabricated a magnetically superhydrophobic bulk material with good reusability for oil-removal by a facile approach. The magnetically bulk material can selectively absorb the oil spreading on water surface, due to its superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity, and...
A superhydrophobic polyaniline (PANI) film was fabricated by using a facile one-step spraying method. The sprayed film showed stable superhydrophobic behavior at ambient environment for more than a month. However, after plasma treatment, the surface turned superhydrophilic and such wettability transition may be attributed to the change of surface composition since its rough surface microstructure...
Superhydrophobic Zn surface has been fabricated by galvanic replacement reactions. The focus of this paper is the effect of various experimental parameters on the wetting behavior of superhydrophobic Zn surface, such as the solution concentration, immersion time, and pretreating temperatures. These factors directly affect the surface morphology and change surface roughness. The effect of alkyl chain...
