A magnetic and highly reusable macroporous superhydrophobic/superoleophilic PDMS/MWNT nanocomposite for oil sorption from water1. Issue 34 (14th September 2015) - Turco, A.
Abstract Fabrication of porous magnetic nanocomposite based on PDMS and Multiwalled carbon nanotubes via a low cost and facile hard template approach is proposed for the first time. The sponges exhibited selective oil uptake capacity, excellent mechanical properties and reusability making them useful for plugging oil leakage.
