Superhydrophobic Surfaces: A Review

Author(s) Mehejbin Mujawar, Shivaji Kulal

Abstract The environmental and economic demand for oil-water separation research is attracting the attention of researchers. The oil-water separation is a challenging task in the world because of the growth of aqueous oil in polluted oceanic water, oil spill accidents, and wastewater in industrial processes such as petrochemical, daily chemical, textile, leather, and steel processing, and metal finishing every day. The wettability of water or oil on a solid surface depends on its surface chemistry and roughness. Past two decades worldwide researchers have been engaged in the fabrication of superhydrophobic and superoleophobic surfaces for oil-water separation applications. Recently, the superhydrophobic and superoleophobic membranes/sponges for the separation of oil and water have attracted increasing attention. The superhydrophobic membrane/sponge technology is the most accepted because it has low cost, is eco-friendly, has high separation efficiency, and relatively simple operational process. Polymeric membranes have unique characteristics, such as high surface area, interconnected pore structure, high porosity, easy functionality, and high water removability. Here, we review the design, fabrication method, and recent developments of polymer/polymerized superhydrophobic and superoleophobic membranes/sponges for oil-water separation. Additionally, the effect of polymeric organosilicon and nanoparticles in composition with polymers is discussed in detail.
Keywords Superhydrophobic, Superoleophobic, Superhydrophilic, Superoleophilic, Membrane, Sponge, Oil-Water separation, Hydrophobic polymers, Oily wastewater.
