Abstract
Superhydrophobic materials can solve the problem of oil pollution in water resources. In this paper, superhydrophobic PDMS-SiO2 with macro-micro-nano multi-level structures was prepared by impregnation method. The superhydrophobic PDMS-SiO2 material has good physical and chemical stability, and retains its superhydrophobicity after sandpaper abrasion, tape peeling, water immersion, acid or alkali immersion, and high temperature baking. The superhydrophobic PDMS-SiO2 material has a high oil-water separation efficiency, with the highest oil-water separation efficiency reaching more than 99%, and the oil-water separation efficiency of different oils all exceeding 96%. The preparation of superhydrophobic PDMS-SiO2 material is simple, inexpensive and environmentally friendly, which can achieve fast and large-area preparation, with good engineering application prospects.
期刊介绍:
Reactive & Functional Polymers provides a forum to disseminate original ideas, concepts and developments in the science and technology of polymers with functional groups, which impart specific chemical reactivity or physical, chemical, structural, biological, and pharmacological functionality. The scope covers organic polymers, acting for instance as reagents, catalysts, templates, ion-exchangers, selective sorbents, chelating or antimicrobial agents, drug carriers, sensors, membranes, and hydrogels. This also includes reactive cross-linkable prepolymers and high-performance thermosetting polymers, natural or degradable polymers, conducting polymers, and porous polymers.
Original research articles must contain thorough molecular and material characterization data on synthesis of the above polymers in combination with their applications. Applications include but are not limited to catalysis, water or effluent treatment, separations and recovery, electronics and information storage, energy conversion, encapsulation, or adhesion.
