Oil leakage and discharge of organic wastewater have not only threatened the ecosystem,
but also greatly aggravated water scarcity. Efficient separation of oil–water mixture has …

The limited robustness and complex preparation process greatly hinder the large-scale use
of superhydrophobic surfaces in real life. In this work, we adopt a simple method to prepare …

A universal strategy is developed to construct a superhydrophobic and superoleophilic
metal-organic framework (MOF) by an amidation reaction between amino group and acid …

Liquid-repellent fabrics have attracted significant attention due to their resistance to
hazardous chemicals and reduced maintenance cost. Traditionally, Poly-Perfluoroalkyl …

Polyphenols have been utilized to connect hydrophobic modifiers with certain substrates
because of their adhesive properties and multiple active groups in their structure …

Cotton fabric plays an important role in the textile industry, but suffers from bacterial
proliferation. The incorporation of naturally occurred phenols onto cotton fiber surfaces has …

The accumulation of ice has brought so many troubles to our daily life and production. To
achieve more efficient and environmentally friendly anti-icing and de-icing, combining active …

With the continuous development of the industry, oil spill accidents occur frequently.
Oil/water separation materials are considered to be a major choice for the treatment of oily …

In this paper, several methods of hydrophobization of cotton fabrics using the thio-ene click
reaction were compared. Durable, superhydrophobic textiles were obtained in an easy way …

Water contamination issues caused by spilled oil or other organic pollutants are urgently
requiring the development of new oil sorbent materials that may desirably have the …
