A novel damage-tolerant superhydrophobic and superoleophilic material

Abstract

A damage-tolerant superhydrophobic and superoleophilic bulk material is fabricated by a facile method. The novel bulk material demonstrates excellent resistance for oil fouling and can be used for water–oil separation. Different wettabilities have been realized on the material surface under UV irradiation, and the superhydrophobicity can be easily regenerated.
