At present, the research and development of adsorbents for oil/water separation are mostly
focused on polymer materials. The third generation of aerogels are made from …

Despite advances in technology and safety measures, accidental releases of crude oil and
refined products into marine and freshwater environments remains a major environmental …

In increasingly serious marine pollution environment, environmentally friendly low-density
aerogels have become potential oil-water separation materials. However, many reported …

The most common and abundant polymer in nature is the linear polysaccharide cellulose,
but processing it requires a new approach since cellulose degrades before melting and …

Aerogels are one of the most interesting materials of the 21st century owing to their high
porosity, low density, and large available surface area. Historically, aerogels have been …

The present work aims towards the structuring of a physically cross-linked aerogels based
on nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), ie, NFC/PVA aerogels for oil …

Directional freeze-drying is considered to regulate the structure of nanocellulose aerogels
with special performances. In this work, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber aerogels with …

Crude oil leakage from tankers, offshore platforms, drilling rigs and wells, causing severe
pollution to the environment has led to irreversible damage to ocean habitat and inhabitants …

A biocompatible and porous triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based on bacterial
cellulose (BC) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) aerogel was presented in this paper. Due …

Herein, we report a superhydrophobic elastomer which was made directly from natural wood
with a simple chemicothermal treatment without adding any modification chemicals. One of …
