Wettability of a material's surface plays a significant role in how fluids interact with such
surfaces. Wetting behavior is universal but can vary depending on the chemical nature of the …

Oil and gas industry generate large quantities of oily wastewater effluents. This wastewater
has a major impact on the environment and human health. Hence, a suitable separation …

Porous and crystalline materials such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
have expanded the scope of membrane materials. In this review, we focus on the state-of …

Intelligent responsive materials with switchable wettability surfaces are of great importance
in the field of oil/water separation. Here, a distinctive pH-responsive bio-based oil/water …

In this work, a feasible collaborative design method for preparing magnetic
superhydrophobic PU-PDA-Fe 3 O 4-Ag sponge was proposed. Inspired by mussels …

The hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of zeolites has been received increasing attentions due to
its great influence on the physical, chemical property and application of zeolites. Generally …

A demand for functionalization of novel materials and surfaces has accelerated the study of
preparation methods for thin films and coatings. Preparation of catalytically active materials …

NaA zeolite was fabricated on a stainless steel mesh by secondary growth method through
optimizing aluminum/silicon ratio (ASR) to effectively separate oily water. The NaA zeolite …

Separation of the oil-water emulsion is a complex process and recent oil-spills make it
imperative to find a robust solution in order to solve adverse environmental concern …

The development of functional membranes with easy operation, low cost, high stability, and
large flux is urgently required for the effective treatment of increasing oily wastewater. In this …
