Superhydrophobic silanized melamine sponges as high efficiency oil absorbent materials.
Superhydrophobic sponges and sponge-like materials have attracted great attention recently as potential sorbent materials for oil spill cleanup due to their excellent sorption capacity and high selectivity. A major challenge to their broad use is the fabrication of superhydrophobic sponges with superior recyclability, good mechanical strength, low cost, and manufacture scalability. In this stud...
متن کاملContainer design, spillages and recycling
The ACP guidelines state that ‘Containers must drain well with no internal recesses which could trap the product’ yet a number of containers do not meet this standard. The European Crop Protection Association (ECPA)’s basic requirements state that containers ‘should drain well and facilitate easy and effective rinsing to maximize product residue removal’. This falls short of the ‘must’ in our o...
متن کاملThe electrospinning of the copolymer of styrene and butyl acrylate for its application as oil absorbent
Electrospun polystyrene materials have been employed as oil absorbents, but they have visible drawbacks such as poor strength at low temperature and unreliable integrity because of brittleness and insufficient cohesive force among fibers. Butyl acrylate can polymerize into flexible chains, and its polymer can be used as elastomer and adhesive material. Thereby it is possible to obtain the mater...
متن کاملDistress: to treat or not to treat?
In one of our research group meetings, we took an informal poll to find out who would prescribe a benzodiazepine to someone who was acutely grieving, felt anxious, was experiencing some insomnia, and wanted relief from distress. The younger among us mostly would prescribe while those of us who are grizzled would mostly refrain from doing so. Coincidentally, within the next week, one of my patie...
متن کاملOptical Plasmons of Individual Gold Nanosponges
The search for novel plasmonic nanostructures, which can act simultaneously as optical detectors and stimulators, is crucial for many applications in the fields of biosensing, electro- and photocatalysis, electrochemistry, and biofuel generation. In most of these areas, a large surface-to-volume ratio, as well as high density of active surface sites, is desirable. We investigate sponge-like, th...
