Robust, buoyant, superhydrophobic PVB/SiO 2 coatings were successfully formed on wood surface through a one-step solvothermal method and a nanoimprint lithography method. The as-prepared PVB/SiO 2 /wood specimens were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric/differential thermogravimetric (TG–DTG) analyses. The superhydrophobic property and abrasion resistance of rose-petal-like wood were measured and assessed by water contact angle (WCA) and sand abrasion tests. The results show that PVB/SiO 2 /wood not only exhibited a robust superhydrophobic performance with a WCA of 160° but also had excellent durability and thermostability during the sand abrasion tests and against corrosive liquids. Additionally, the as-prepared PVB/SiO 2 /wood specimens show high buoyancy.
Design and constructing high performance filtration membranes for oil purification from emulsified oil/water mixtures with good durability and self-healing property is highly desired for the remediation of oily wastewater and oil recycling caused by oil leakage and oil spill, but remain a tough challenge. Herein, a facile and environmentally friendly method for fabricating dodecyltrichlorosilane grafted polyvinyl butyral/silica sol/silica nanoparticles composite nanofibrous microfiltration membranes is developed. The as-prepared nanofibrous membranes exhibited intriguing wetting behaviors, such as superhydrophobicity in air and under oil, small sliding angle, and extremely low adhesion force. The superwettability, hierarchical porous structure, and good mechanical properties endowed the membranes with fascinating emulsion separation performance towards highly emulsified oil/water mixtures, involving high separation efficiency >99.6%, large oil permeation flux of ∼2316.2 L m −2 h −1 , and excellent long-term cyclic performance in 10 cycles. Additionally, the as-prepared nanofibrous membranes exhibited superior self-healing performance against external force and maintained good emulsion separation performance after 10 abrasion-repairing cyclic processes. The successful fabrication of such nanofibrous membranes provides a versatile strategy for developing materials with high purification performance, good repairability, and excellent durability for the oily wastewater remediation, oil spill clean-up, and oil purification.
