One-step nanocellulose coating converts tissue paper into an efficient separation membrane

This article reports robust technology for converting tissue paper (TP) into an efficient separation membrane by coating with a novel superhydrophobic material that was synthesized by a rapid, one step approach without using any hazardous chemicals viz fluorinated materials or organic/inorganic nanoparticles. The coating was prepared using modified cellulose nanofibers which can readily transform a TP into an excellent oil/water separation...
