Hydrophobically modified cotton fabric assisted separation of oil-water mixture

Superhydrophobic-superoleophilic fabrics were prepared and evaluated for oil–water mixture separation efficiencies. The nano-TiO2 and nano-SiO2 based coatings were done on the surface of the cotton fabric to create nanoscale roughness over the surface which was further modified by low energy materia...
