Superhydrophobic Coatings for Oil–Water Separation
Frequent oil spills and the continuous discharge of industrial and domestic oily wastewater can significantly affect the economy and aquatic and biotic environments. Scientists have developed extremely water repellent surfaces based on the naturally occurring superhydrophobic surfaces that are widely used in various applications such as oil–water ...

Modeling oil–water separation with controlled wetting properties [PDF]
Several oil–water separation techniques have been proposed to improve the capacity of cleaning water. With the technological possibility of producing materials with antagonist wetting behavior, for example, a substrate that repels water and absorbs oil, the understanding of the properties that control this selective capacity has increased with the goal
