Carbon nanofiber based superhydrophobic foam composite for high performance oil/water separation

Zheng Guo et al.

Summary: The study presents a method to fabricate flexible and superhydrophobic foam composites for efficient oil/water separation by decorating carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with a hollow structure uniformly onto the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) foam skeleton.
