Marine oil exploration is important yet greatly increases the risk of oil leakage, which will result in severe environment pollution and economic losses. It is an urgent need to develop effective underoil adhesives. However, realizing underoil adhesion is even harder than those underwater, due to the stubborn attachment of a highly viscous oil layer on target surface. Here, inspired by endocytosis, a tough gel tape composed of zwitterionic polymer network and zwitterionic surfactants is developed. The amphiphilic surfactants can form micelle to capture the oil droplets and transport them from the interface to gel via electrostatic attraction of polymer backbone, mimicking the endocytosis and achieving robust underoil adhesion. Benefiting from the oil-resistance of polymer backbone, the gel further realizes a combination of i) long-term adhesion with high durability, ii) repeated adhesion in oil, and iii) renewable adhesion efficiency after exhausted use. The tape exhibits an ultra-high adhesive toughness of 2446.86 J m −2 to stainless steel in silicone oil after 30 days' oil-exposure; such value of adhesive toughness surpasses many of those achieved in underwater adhesion and is greater than underoil adhesion performance of commercial tape. The strategy illustrated here will motivate the design of sustainable and efficient adhesives for wet environments.

Filtration membranes (FMs), with robust anti-fouling performance, are highly desirable for practical oily wastewater purification but still a challenge to be realized without water pre-wetting procedure. Herein, we demonstrate a novel and effective route to address this challenge by decorating MnO 2-x nanowires on carbon cloth membrane (MCM) via simple hydrothermal method , in which the existence of oxygen vacancies on the outer surface of MnO 2-x nanowires can greatly enhance the H 2 O adsorption capacity even under oil, thus the oil-fouling problem can be solved by simply immersing the oil-polluted membrane into water and shaking. Besides the superamphiphilic performance in air and underwater superoleophobic (underwater oil contact angle > 155° against diverse oils), our MCM also exhibits unexpected under-oil superhydrophilic properties, Moreover, high separation efficiency for diverse oil/water mixtures (>99.8%) and oil-in-water emulsions (>98.3%) have been also achieved based on our product. These outstanding properties make our sample hold a great potential in practical oily/water purification.

Surface hydrophilicity and the inherent washing force are two crucial factors for constructing an underwater self-cleaning surface. Following this self-cleaning mechanism, we fabricated thermosensitive copolymer brushes of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) on the polypropylene (PP) surface. Benefiting from the hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) side chains, the copolymer brushes with the PEGMA content exceeding 5 mol % exhibited good surface hydrophilicity, whenever at temperatures below or above the lower critical solution temperatures (LCST). Hence their underwater oleophobicity was greatly improved with oil contact angles higher than 141° and oil adhesive forces lower than 20 μN. In addition, the sharp volume-phase transition feature was reserved in their copolymer backbones, as proved by the AFM result. Self-cleaning evaluation of the modified surfaces was performed by a simple temperature-change water cleaning method, after which only 0.2 wt % of oil residues remained on the brush surface of P(NIPAAm-5PEGMA) (with 5 mol % of PEGMA contents). The excellent self-cleaning capability is believed to be ascribed to its balanced surface features in hydrophilicity and the sharper volume-phase transition, when a hydrophilic surface can facilitate oil desorption and an intense conformation change of chain stretching and shrinking can offer the strong washing force to assist oil detachment. This study contributes to development of the underwater self-cleaning surface based on a hydrophilic surface with the chain motion.

Directional self-transportation of tiny droplets is significant in many fields. However, almost all existing studies focus on the phenomenon in air, and to realize similar performance in complex environments, such as oil, is still extremely rare. Here, we report a TiO2-coated conical spine (TCS) and demonstrate underoil directional self-transportation of water droplets on its surface. It is found that high surface hydrophilicity resulting from UV irradiation is necessary to achieve the self-transportation of water in oil. The critical water contact angle in oil is about 57°, and the maximal transport velocity can reach 1.4 mm/s. Mechanism analysis reveals that the excellent self-transportation property is ascribed to the combined effect between the Laplace force (FL) caused by the conical gradient structure and the hysteresis reduction resulting from the high hydrophilicity. Moreover, based on the special underoil self-transportation performance, a droplet-based microreaction and demulsification of water-in-oil emulsions were demonstrated using the TCS. This work reports the self-transportation of water in oil, which could provide some fresh ideas for designing new superwetting self-transportation materials.

The economic and green synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is of great significance. In this work, a facile method for preparing HKUST-1 MOFs at room temperature with insoluble Cu 2 (OH) 2 CO 3 particles and film as the precursors was developed. The as-prepared HKUST-1 MOFs were characterized by using the XRD , Raman spectrum , FTIR, XPS and N 2 adsorption-desorption analyses, and the wetting property of the HKUST-1 film was also evaluated. The results demonstrated that the MOF film decorated copper mesh possesses the promising underwater superoleophobicity and underoil superhydrophobicity, with the contact angles of non-wetting liquids larger than 150°. The on-demand oil/water separation was subsequently realized through a prewetting method, obtaining the high separation efficiency up to 97%. The facile route by using solid precursors developed in this work might provide a new strategy for preparing MOFs, and the special wetting properties of the as-prepared materials could enrich the applications of MOF films as well.

Adhesive hydrogels are considered to be promising interfacial adhesive materials for various applications; however, their adhesive strength is significantly reduced when immersed in liquid environments (water and oil) due to obstruction of the liquid layer or swelling in liquid, and they could not always be reused when the failure of the adhesive performance occurred. Herein, a graphite oxide/poly(vinyl alcohol) (GO/PVA) hydrogel with strong adhesion in air and under liquid environments was developed by rationally regulating the interactions of water and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the binary liquid system. The strong interaction between water and DMSO allowed the water layer of the GO/PVA hydrogel on the hydrogel surface to act as a shield to repel oil in air, under water, and even when immersed in oil, and it also endowed the obtained hydrogel with antiswelling property when immersed in water and oil. Importantly, the GO/PVA hydrogel could serve as an advanced adhesive to firmly bond different substrates in air, under water, and under oil, and interestingly, its dry and wet adhesive performance was repeatable and recyclable. This work is expected to be an important addition to the field of adhesive soft materials.

In this study, superamphiphilic fabrics with under-oil superhydrophilic property have been prepared using trimesoyl chloride (TMC), tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride (THPC), and urea as coating materials. Owing to the unique under-oil superhydrophilicity, the coated fabric is able to absorb water droplets dispersed in oil, and oil stains on the coated fabric (dry) can be easily cleaned off just by rinsing with water (without the use of detergent), showing strong anti-oil-fouling ability. The coating is durable enough to withstand at least 50 cycles of home laundering, 1000 cycles of Martindale abrasions, as well as acid/base etching for 12 h without losing its under-oil superhydrophilic property. Meanwhile, the coated fabric exhibits excellent flame-retardant properties, with an oxygen limiting index (LOI) of 39.5% and a char length of 8.5 cm in vertical flame test. This multi-functional coating may find wide applications in functional textiles, water recovery, and flame-retardant field.

Filtration membranes, with excellent anti-fouling capability, are ideal for actual oily sewage treatment, but the absence of a pre-hydration procedure is still a challenge. In this study, we demonstrated an environmentally friendly, and economical route to solve this problem by depositing chitosan (CS)-cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) multilayer on stainless steel mesh (SSM) via simple layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly method. Due to the chemical structure , the CNCs have a large number of hydrophilic groups that are tightly bound to the surface, so the CS-CNCs multilayer modified mesh can maintain their strong surface hydration ability in air or oil, and will not be contaminated by crude oil even in a dry state. Besides, the CS-CNCs multilayer modified mesh exhibits superamphiphilic, underwater superoleophobic, and under-oil superhydrophilic functions. Moreover, the modified mesh also shows high rejection rate for crude oil/water mixture (99.92%) and diverse oil-in-water emulsions (>99.58%). What's more, the mesh has excellent reusability and chemical stability. The outstanding advantages in low-cost, environmental protection, biodegradability, anti-crude-oil-fouling performance, and efficient oil/water separation, endow our CS-CNCs multilayer modified mesh with great potential in complicated oily sewage purification.

Antibacterial superamphiphilic materials with green and facile preparation process have attracted extensive attention in oil/water separation. Herein, an antibacterial waterborne polyacrylate (AWBPA) composed of [2-(methacryloyloxy)-ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride (METAC) and basic acrylate monomers has been successfully developed using the emulsion polymerization method and water as the sole solvent. By sequentially simple dip-coating of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and AWBPA, the polyester fabric can be endowed with the superamphiphilic and antibacterial properties. By prewetting with water/oil, the modified fabric holds underwater superoleophobicity/underoil superhydrophobicity, and can be used for continuous separation of light oil/water, heavy oil/water and light oil/water/heavy oil mixtures. Importantly, these modified fabrics have high antibacterial activity (99.3 ± 0.2 %), and can maintain its underwater superoleophobicity and underoil superhydrophobicity even after immersion in corrosive solution for 15 d, 100 g sand impact and 200-cycle adhesive tape-peeling, and are suitable for practical large-scale production applications.

Development of an under-liquid super-repellent (ULSR) surface that can act as a versatile platform for separating both liquid/liquid and liquid/gas mixtures is highly desirable, yet still hard to realize. Herein, to address this challenge, a Cu(OH) 2 nanowire textured surface on copper mesh was developed through a simple immersion process. The resulting Cu(OH) 2 nanowire surface displayed underwater superoleophobicity, underoil superhydrophobicity, and unusual dual superoleophobicity under immiscible oil-oil system. Exploiting its superlyophobicity under-liquid, the Cu(OH) 2 nanowire covered copper mesh was applied to separate oil/water mixtures, emulsions, and oil/oil mixtures effectively, even though the surface tension between two liquids was just 2.4 mN/m. The separation efficiency is higher than 99% for all mixtures, and the oil/water separation efficiency can maintain above 98% even after 40 cycles. Furthermore, owing to its superaerophobicity underwater and underoil, the obtained copper mesh was also able to separate gas from bulk water and oil efficiently. This work is hoped to provide a key addition to the fields of ULSR surfaces as well as membrane-based separation techniques.
