One-Step Covalent Surface Modification to Achieve Oil-Water Separation Performance of a Non-Fluorinated Durable Superhydrophobic Fabric.


ABSTRACT: In this work, a durable superhydrophobic fabric was fabricated by a facile covalent surface modification strategy, in which the anchoring of 10-undecenoyl chloride (UC) onto the fabric through the esterification reaction and covalent grafting of n-dodecyl-thiol (DT) via thiol-ene click chemistry were integrated into one step. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurement results demonstrated that UC and DT were covalently grafted onto the fabric surface. The formed gully-like rough structure by the grafted UC and DT on the fabric surface together with the inherent microfiber structure, combined with the grafted low-surface-energy materials of UC and DT, gave the resultant modified DT-UC@fabric superhydrophobic performance. The superhydrophobic DT-UC@fabric was used for separation of oil-water mixtures; it exhibited high separation efficiency of more than 98%. In addition, it presented excellent durability against mechanical damage; even after 100 cyclic tape-peeling and abrasion tests, the DT-UC@fabric could preserve superhydrophobic performance, which was ascribed to the formed covalent interactions between the fabric surface and the grafted UC and DT. Therefore, this work provided a facile, efficient strategy for fabricating superhydrophobic composites with excellent durability, which exhibited a promising prospect in the application of self-cleaning and oil-water separation.
