Marine oil spills is one of the frequent natural disasters that adversely affect the economy
and ecosystem. A variety of methods have been developed to combat marine oil spills …

In this work, waste nitrile rubber (NBR) was radio-chemo-mechanically devulcanized and
used as oil/seawater separator. Pure and surface modified silica nanoparticles were applied …

Oil spill incidents frequently cause serious impacts on the ecosystem, society, and economy.
To cope with this problem, the use of phase-selective organogelators (PSOGs) has been …

Oil spills threaten ecosystem and health seriously. Porous foams have been proved as ideal
candidates for oil absorbents, however, many with poor oil retention (re-bleeding). Here, we …

Novel supramolecular gelators based on quinoline-indolin-2-one structure were
synthesized. These gelators formed stable organogels in a mixture of DMSO/H 2 O (1: 1) …

The development of mechanical enhancement and sustainable absorbents for oil and
chemical spills cleaning has attracted wide interest. In this work, novel and low-cost …

Phase-selective gelation of low molecular-weight photoresponsive organogelator
possessing long aliphatic chain azobenzene sugar derivatives and its applications in the …

A newly designed stiff-stilbene functionalized biscalix [4] arene in its cis form Z-1 could be
near-quantitatively photoswitched to the trans-isomer E-1 under irradiation of 385 nm UV …

Through a combinatorial screening of 35 possible phase-selective monopeptide-based
organogelators readily made at low cost, we identified five of them with high gelling ability …

The serendipitous occurrence of gels in science has been a milestone for further industrial
revolutionization. The controlled formation and disassembly of gels coupled with their …
