Superhydrophobic and superoleophilic (SHSO) membranes have gained remarkable
attention, particularly in selective and efficient oil-water separation applications. This paper …

Over the past decade, there have been many successful attempts at artificially reproducing
the surface structures found on natural superhydrophobic surfaces. The researchers have …

Recent advancements in separation and membrane technologies have shown a great
potential in removing oil from wastewaters effectively. In addition, the capabilities have …

Inspired by the superhydrophobic properties of some plants and animals with special
structures, such as self-cleaning, water repellent, and drag reduction, the research on the …

A two-step chemical etching method for preparing superhydrophobic surfaces on stainless
steel substrates is proposed. The stainless steel substrates were sequentially immersed in …

The exploitation of superwetting surfaces including non-wetted (liquid contact angle> 150°)
and fully-wetted (liquid contact angle< 10°) surfaces has a long history, and it is still a hot …

Superhydrophobic/superoleophilic paper with excellent self-cleaning and antibacterial
activity was prepared via combination of in-situ growing Cu metal-organic frameworks (Cu …

Nature is the source of human design inspiration. In order to adapt to the environment better,
creatures in nature have formed various morphological structures during billions of years of …

Wastewater treatment is a process of significant socio-environmental implications, constantly
calling for effective methods towards higher sustainability. In this work, an environment …

Due to the metallic activity of aluminum, superhydrophobic surfaces are often prepared on
