Description
A peer-reviewed research article from Europe PMC (2026). The increasing occurrence of marine oil spills and industrial oily wastewater discharge demands efficient and sustainable oil–water separation technologies. Herein, we report a fluorine-free and scalable strategy to fabricate superhydrophobic nonwoven membranes via a simple two-step dip-coating process. By grafting hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) onto viscose/polyester substrates followed by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coating, the resulting membrane exhibits excellent superhydrophobicity, mechanical robustness, and chemical stability.
