采用溶胶-凝胶法制备不同粒径SiO₂粒子，通过表面改性得到不同形状复合粒子，并利用氟硅氧烷的表面自组装功能制备了具有“荷叶效应”的超疏水涂膜。通过原子力显微镜、扫描电镜和水接触角的测试对膜结构及性能进行了表征，探讨了SiO₂粒子的粒径和形状与表面微观结构、表面粗糙度和表面疏水性能的关系。结果表明含单一粒径粒子涂膜表面水接触角符合Wenzel模型，而复合粒子构成了符合Cassie模型的非均相界面;单纯的粗糙度因子不能反映水接触角的变化，复合粒子在膜表面的无规则排列赋予涂膜表面不同等级的粗糙度，使得水滴与涂膜表面接触时能够形成高的空气捕捉率和较小的粗糙度因子;其与在涂膜表面能形成自组装分子膜的氟硅氧烷共同作用赋予了涂膜超疏水性能，而这种超疏水性能与复合粒子的粒径大小和形状基本无关。

聚多巴胺在强负电型微球表面的形貌调控

多巴胺(DA)已被证实可在多种材料的表面进行氧化自聚而形成聚多巴胺(PDA),但其在带强负电荷的表面上的聚合机理和所形成的形貌却还不太明确。 为考察材料表面的电负性、氧化条件等对DA氧化自聚速度和聚多巴胺层形貌的影响,本文通过无皂乳液聚合制备了以聚苯乙烯(PS)为核、聚丙烯酸(PAA)为壳的纳米粒子(PS/PAA NPs),探究其表面的阴离子在不同pH缓冲液、反应时间下与DA的加入量对聚合过程及其形貌的影响。 通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和Zeta电势对所得纳米粒子的结构、形貌与尺寸等进行分析。 结果发现,在pH值为8.5的三羟甲基氨基甲烷(Tris)缓冲溶液中,当DA与PS/PAA NPs的质量比为1∶1时,在反应24 h后,PDA以纳米颗粒的形式存在于PS/PAA NPs的表面,即所形成的PS/PAA/PDA NPs为明显的树莓状结构。 随着DA含量的增加和反应时间的延长,所形成的树莓状粒子粒径增大;当DA远远过量时,PDA最终在微球表面形成致密、均匀的壳层。 Zeta电势结果表明树莓状结构是由于DA在PAA表面聚合过程中受到静电相互作用和电荷排斥作用间的竞争而形成的,随着DA量的增大和反应时间的延长,形成的静电作用增大,使较多的PDA粘附至PAA表面而形成较致密的均匀壳层。 同时,DA在电负性较小的PS/SDS微球和非离子的PS微球表面聚合时,均形成致密的PDA壳层。 因而,材料表面的电负性大小可以调控DA在其表面的沉积,以制备不同形貌的PDA复合材料。

Application of Nano-Hydroxyapatite Derived from Oyster Shell in Fabricating Superhydrophobic Sponge for Efficient Oil/Water Separation

The exploration of nonhazardous nanoparticles to fabricate a template-driven superhydrophobic surface is of great ecological importance for oil/water separation in practice. In this work, nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAp) with good biocompatibility was easily developed from discarded oyster shells and well incorporated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to create a superhydrophobic surface on a polyurethane (PU) sponge using a facile solution–immersion method. The obtained nano-HAp coated PU (nano-HAp/PU) sponge exhibited both excellent oil/water selectivity with water contact angles of over 150° and higher absorption capacity for various organic solvents and oils than the original PU sponge, which can be assigned to the nano-HAp coating surface with rough microstructures. Moreover, the superhydrophobic nano-HAp/PU sponge was found to be mechanically stable with no obvious decrease of oil recovery capacity from water in 10 cycles. This work presented that the oyster shell could be a promising alternative to superhydrophobic coatings, which was not only beneficial to oil-containing wastewater treatment, but also favorable for sustainable aquaculture.     

Durable multifunctional superhydrophobic sponge for oil/water separation and adsorption of volatile organic compounds

Inspired by the strong adhesion of mussels, a super-hydrophobic sponge was designed and prepared by a simple and inexpensive one-pot solution immersion method. The prepared superhydrophobic sponge can not only efficiently separate the oil–water mixture, more importantly, but also remove volatile organic compounds in the atmospheric environment. Polydopamine (PDA) enables polydivinylbenzene (PDVB) particles to be firmly and tightly attached to the melamine sponge skeleton, thereby making the hydrophilic sponge superhydrophobic and providing adsorption sites for volatile organic compounds in the air. The synergy enables the sponge/PDA/PDVB to quickly adsorb oils and organic substances, and it has high stability and capacity even after 20 cycles. In addition, superhydrophobic sponges can still perform outstanding adsorption performance even under highly acidic and alkaline environments. Meanwhile, the static adsorption capacity of the sponge/PDA/PDVB for gaseous toluene is 5.7 times that of activated carbon. Compared with pure PDVB, the super-hydrophobic sponge in the dynamic experiment has a penetration time increased from 6 to 390 min, which is 65 times longer than that of the PDVB, and the adsorption performance has been greatly improved. Therefore, our strategy may achieve a new effect, which can quickly and easily separate oil–water mixtures and remove volatile gaseous pollutants, and it can provide potential options for practical applications

     

Green Approach to the Fabrication of Superhydrophobic Mesh Surface for Oil/Water Separation

We report a simple and environment friendly method to fabricate superhydrophobic metallic mesh surfaces for oil/water separation. The obtained mesh surface exhibits superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity after it was dried in an oven at 200 °C for 10 min. A rough silver layer is formed on the mesh surface after immersion, and the spontaneous adsorption of airborne carbon contaminants on the silver surface lower the surface free energy of the mesh. No low‐surface‐energy reagents and/or volatile organic solvents are used. In addition, we demonstrate that by using the mesh box, oils can be separated and collected from the surface of water repeatedly, and that high separation efficiencies of larger than 92 % are retained for various oils. Moreover, the superhydrophobic mesh also possesses excellent corrosion resistance and thermal stability. Hence, these superhydrophobic meshes might be good candidates for the practical separation of oil from the surface of water.     

A Superhydrophobic Sponge with Excellent Absorbency and Flame Retardancy

Frequent oil spillages and the industrial discharge of organic solvents have not only caused severe environmental and ecological damage, but also create a risk of fire and explosion. Therefore, it is imperative, but also challenging, to find high‐performance absorbent materials that are both effective and less flammable. Here we present a superior superhydrophobic sponge that exhibits excellent absorption performance through a combination of its superhydrophobicity, high porosity, and robust stability. More importantly, it inherits the intrinsic flame‐retardant nature of the raw melamine sponge, and is thus expected to reduce the risk of fire and explosion when being used as an absorbent for flammable oils and organic compounds. Moreover, the fabrication of this sponge is easy to scale up, since it does not use a complicated process or sophisticated equipment. These characteristics make the sponge a much more competitive product than the commercial absorbent, nonwoven polypropylene fabric.     

Multifunctional polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) surfaces prepared by electrospinning at the sol-gel transition: superhydrophobicity, excellent solvent resistance, thermal stability and enhanced sound absorption property

Multifunctional superhydrophobic polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) surfaces with excellent solvent resistance, thermal stability and enhanced sound absorption property were manufactured by electrospinning. The surfaces with various hierarchical morphologies and hydrophobicity were obtained by electrospinning at the different stages of sol-gel transition of PMSQ prepolymer solution. At the stage with a proper viscosity the superhydrophobic PMSQ surface with a contact angle as high as 151° and a sliding angle as low as 8° was prepared. Due to the excellent thermal stability and solvent resistance properties of the cured PMSQ, the resultant surfaces remain superhydrophobicity after thermal treatment at 300 °C and immersion into many solvents. Additionally, an enhanced acoustical performance and ultra water repellency were obtained simultaneously when the traditional acoustical sponge was decorated with the electrospun PMSQ superhydrophobic surface. The robust superhydrophobic PMSQ surfaces may promise practical applications in many fields.     

Superhydrophobic and superoleophilic polyethylene aerogel coated natural rubber latex foam for oil-water separation application

The oil-water separation has made an attention due to over-increased production of oily water from the industrial process and everyday routine of humans. The current work reports on preparation and characterization of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) aerogel coated Natural Rubber Latex foam (NRLF) with superhydrophobic and superoleophilic character, good sorption capacity for oil-water separation application and were investigated. The HDPE aerogel and the coated NRLF material was prepared by a cooling process from a solution of HDPE in xylene solvent (HDPE sole, which resulted into thermally induced phase separation of the Polyethylene molecular network). The HDPE aerogel coated NRLF displayed a porous surface morphology with particle-like structural features. The HDPE aerogel coated NRLF showed superhydrophobicity with static water contact angle >150°. The effect and recyclability of the HDPE aerogel coated NRLF for oil-water separation was investigated using different model oil solvents to explore their repeatable application in oil spill clean-up process. Modified NRLF shows an excellent mechanical property (compressibility). The average modulus and average stiffness of the modified NRLF increased with the increase of the concentration of HDPE sol. The modified superhydrophobic sponge has good durability under acid and base conditions.

Super-hydrophobic carrageenan cross-linked graphene sponge for recovery of oil and organic solvent from their water mixtures

A novel ultra-light, superhydrophobic graphene based carrageenan sponge (GCS) absorbent was synthesized by one pot hydrothermal method, for the use of selective adsorption of oils and organic solvents from their water mixtures. The GO nanosheets were reacted in the presence of formaldehyde by the insertion of carrageenan, forming hydrophobic cross-linked structure in between them. The structure and properties of this GCS are well characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Thermal gravimetric analysis, Scanning electron microscopy, and Water contact angle. The as-prepared GCS has good thermal stability (400 °C), low density (20 mg/cm⁻³), excellent hydrophobicity (water contact angle of 136.24°), and selective absorption capacity (25.2–35.95 g/g) of oils and organic solvents from their water mixtures. GCS has excellent oil sorption capacity in the range of 25.2–50 g of oil per gram of adsorbent. GCS could be easily reused by simple solvent treatment. Therefore, the adsorption capacity still retained even after 10 cycles. The present work suggests that GCS using biobased resources has high potentials for many widespread applications in industry to control environmental pollution.

Electrically conductive acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber elastomers prepared by dopamine‐induced surface functionalization and metallization

A novel method for the preparation of electrical conductive surface silvered acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR) was developed. Dopamine was spontaneously oxide polymerized and deposited onto the surface of NBR. Electroless plating of silver was carried out on the poly(dopamine) (PDA)‐functionalized NBR surface. The composition of the NBR surface was studied by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS results showed that PDA was successfully deposited onto the NBR surface. The morphology of the NBR surface was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM images showed that PDA had formed a distinctive layer ready for electroless deposition of silver. The catechol/quinone groups on the PDA molecular structure can be used as binding sites for silver ions. The silvered NBR showed high surface conductivity of 1.4 Ω.
