The industrial revolution has led to different types of environmental pollution, including
frequent leakage of crude oil to marine waters and the contamination of wastewater with …

The development of a multifunctional oil adsorbing material which could effectively and
quickly separate oily wastewater is one of the focuses in water environment restoration. In …

The development of phase change materials (PCMs) is hampered by issues like leakage,
poor thermal conductivity, and poor light absorption. In this study, we innovatively combined …

Oil leakage and the discharge of oil/water mixtures by domestic and industrial consumers
have caused not only severe environmental pollution and a threat to all species in the …

Fast and efficient cleanup of crude oil spills is still a global challenge because most of the
crude oils are highly viscous and lowly fluid. Herein, a kind of polydimethylsiloxane …

Oil adsorption sponges have attracted great attention in the field of oil-water mixture
treatment, due to their low cost, high porosity, flexible design, and three dimensional …

Separation of oil/water mixtures has become an increasingly important subject worldwide
because of frequent oil spill incidents and industrial oily wastewater. The filter materials for …

Utilization of hierarchically aligned natural cellulosic structures has become a leading
natural template scaffold for a diverse range of functional applications. This natural scaffold …
