A superhydrophobic fabric was first fabricated by a novel mussel-inspired strategy with the aid of folic acid and a low concentration of dopamine without any additional nanoparticle incorporation. A mini boat of this fabric can automatically recycle oil spills while floating freely on water.

Crude Oil Spill

ABSTRACT At 4:00 p.m. on September 21, 1978, a fire and major oil spill occurred at the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve in West Hackberry, Louisiana. Five days later, the fire was extinguished and within another two days, more than 30,000 barrels of oil had been recovered from the adjoining lake. History will record the event as a serious accident that resulted in one death and an injury, but a closer look will reveal one bright spot—an effective oil spill cleanup operation.

Siloxane Polymers

Low surface energy materials have attracted much attention due to their properties and various applications. In this work, we synthesized and characterized a series of ultraviolet (UV)-curable fluorinated siloxane polymers with various fluorinated acrylates—hexafluorobutyl acrylate, dodecafluoroheptyl acrylate, and trifluorooctyl methacrylate—grafted onto a hydrogen-containing poly(dimethylsiloxane) backbone. The structures of the fluorinated siloxane polymers were measured and confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Then the polymers were used as surface modifiers of UV-curable commercial polyurethane (DR-U356) at different concentrations (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 wt %). Among three formulations of these fluorinated siloxane polymers modified with DR-U356, hydrophobic states (91°, 92°, and 98°) were obtained at low concentrations (1 wt %). The DR-U356 resin is only in the hydrophilic state at 59.41°. The fluorine and siloxane element contents were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the results indicated that the fluorinated and siloxane elements were liable to migrate to the surface of resins. The results of the friction recovering assays showed that the recorded contact angles of the series of fluorinated siloxane resins were higher than the original values after the friction-annealing progressing.
