DOI: 10.1016/j.surfcoat.2018.04.017
Abstract: Abstract Superhydrophobic oil sorbent was prepared by coating raw kapok fibers with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, followed by surface modification with 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyl-triethoxysilane (PTES). The TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited an anatase structure as confirmed… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym15020452
Abstract: This study used a simple and efficient dipping method to prepare oleophilic calcium stearate-coated kapok fibers (CaSt2-KF) with improved hydrophobicity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the… read more here.
