This review provides a brief introduction to filtration membranes with superwetting surfaces applied to oil/water emulsion separation and includes comprehensive discussions about the fabrication methods of each filtration membrane, which is expected to advance the development of biomimetic surface membranes for oil/water emulsion separation.
Inorganic adhesives are presented to construct robust, self-healing, superhydrophobic surfaces. The surfaces maintain superhydrophobicity after physical abrasion, and still show excellent mechanical robustness after treatment under harsh conditions. They also have a rapid self-healing ability against boiling-water treatment, O2-plasma etching, and amphiphilic pollution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
