A new class of robust superhydrophobic cotton fabric was prepared by chemically grafting method for removing oil from contaminated waters. Furthermore, the mechanical, chemical, and thermal durability of superhydrophobic cotton fabric was evaluated in detail. The superhydrophobic cotton fabric did not only showed excellent separation efficiency (ca.100%) and ultrafast separation rate (ca. 13,600 L/h m) but also exhibited excellent durability. Especially, the oil/water separation rate was almost 10 times than that reported in previous works. The work provides a new method to design and large-scale prepare oil/water separation materials with high performance for industrial use.
一种新型的稳健超疏水棉织物通过化学接枝法制备，用于从受污染的水中去除油。此外，详细评估了超疏水棉织物的机械、化学和热稳定性。超疏水棉织物不仅表现出优异的分离效率（约 100%）和超快的分离速率（约 13600 L/h·m），而且表现出优异的耐久性。特别是，油水分离速率几乎是先前工作报道的 10 倍。该工作为设计和大规模制备具有工业用途的高性能油水分离材料提供了一种新方法。
