Abstract
Devastating impacts on organisms and the environment are brought by marine oil spills.
Superhydrophobic foams, sponges, aerogels, and biomass materials have been used as absorbents for oil spill treatment. Among all, Polydimethylsiloxane multi-walled carbon nanotubes Polyaniline Polypropylene felt (Referred to as p-CNT/PANI@PP felt in the following parts) exhibits high absorption selectivity and capability, along with the ability to conduct in harsh environments and the ability to make use of solar/Joule-heating in absorbing a wide span of oil types with high viscosity.
Thus, p-CNT/PANI@PP should be considered as a potentially effective way to address the problem of marine oil spills.
