Abstract:Several oil-water separation techniques have been proposed to improve the capacity of cleaning water. With the technological possibility of producing materials with antagonist wetting behavior, as for example a substrate that repeal water and absorb oil, the understanding of the properties that control this selective capacity has increased with the goal of being used as mechanism to separate mixed liquids. Besides the experimental advance in this field, less is known from the theoretical side. In this work we … Show more
