Mauliady Satria et al.

Summary: The superhydrophobic/superoleophilic properties of polyurethane foams (PUF) were enhanced through layering with three different polymers and modification with iron/magnetic nanocomposites. The polymer layer and nanocomposites successfully covered the PUF surface, resulting in improved water contact angle and powerful superhydrophobic properties of the materials. The modified PUFs exhibited enhanced oil absorption capacity, high separation efficiency, and rapid oil permeate flux, making them highly useful for oil-water separation applications. Among the modified materials, PDA-coated PUF nanocomposites achieved the most outstanding results due to their remarkable interfacial adhesion properties and increased active functional groups for hydrogen bonding interaction.

Bionic engineering-induced formation of hierarchical structured minerals with superwetting surfaces for oil-water separation

Sikai Tang et al.

Summary: Harnessing living organisms to produce biomimetic materials with hierarchical structures through biomineralization process has great potential in oil-water separation. In this study, we utilized a bacteria-assisted mineralization strategy to grow CaCO3 minerals with hierarchical micro/nanostructures on stainless steel meshes. The resulting CaCO3-coated meshes exhibited superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity, with water contact angles close to 0 degrees and underwater oil contact angles up to 161 degrees. The CaCO3-coated meshes showed excellent oil-water separation performance, with ultrahigh permeation flux (1.55 x 10(5) L m(-2) h(-1)) and high separation efficiency (>= 98.5%), while also demonstrating high chemical and mechanical stability. Moreover, the CaCO3-coated meshes possessed ultralow oil-adhesion force in water, providing outstanding anti-oil fouling property. We anticipate that the bionic engineering-induced hierarchical mineral formation could contribute to the development of next-generation superwetting materials.

Wettability Switchable Membranes for Separating Both Oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions

Xi Zhang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the potential of separation membranes with switchable wettability in efficiently treating both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions. By using a simple co-deposition method of tannic acid and diethylenetriamine, commercial polypropylene membranes are endowed with switchable surface wettability that can cyclically translate between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity through water/ethanol treatments without losing surface wettability. Density functional theory simulations and UV-vis spectra analysis were used to illustrate the chemical mechanism behind this hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity translation.
