Abstract:

ZnO colloids were firstly prepared by sol-gel method, and then, cotton fabric with superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity was fabricated by dipping-coating ZnO colloids and subsequently modifying the surface with octyltrimethoxysilane, contact angles of water and oil droplet on the surface was about 152° and 0°, respectively. The cotton fabric with superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity can be applied to separate oil or water from water-oil mixtures with high efficiency. The research are expected to offer references for the design of waterproof clothing, fabrication of superhydrophobic-superoleophilic material and its application in the separation of oil-water mixtures.

Key words: Superhydrophobic, Superoleophilic, Cotton fabric, ZnO colloid, Oil-water separation
