Superoleophilic-Hydrophobic Kapok Oil Sorbents via Energy Efficient Carbonization

Superoleophilic-Hydrophobic Kapok Oil Sorbents via Energy Efficient Carbonization

High oil sorption, dynamic oil/water selectivity and oil retention are essential for advanced materials to remediate offshore oil spills. In this context, superoleophilic-hydrophobic kapok bundles, synthesized via a simple, one-step and energy efficient carbonization (300°C), were investigated as ef...
