Dual super-amphiphilic modified cellulose acetate nanofiber membranes with highly efficient oil/water separation and excellent antifouling properties

Along with increasing oily, industrial wastewater and seawater pollution, oil spills—and their clean-up via the separation of oil and water—are still a worldwide challenge. Aiming to fabricate an oil/water separation membrane with excellent comprehensive performance, we report here a new type of multifunctional deacetylated cellulose acetate (d-CA) membrane. The cellulose acetate (CA) nanofiber membranes are fabricated by electrospinning and...
