Modified silica-based double-layered hydrophobic-coated stainless steel mesh and its application for oil/seawater separation.

ABSTRACT: A double-layered hydrophobic-coated stainless steel mesh (CSSM) was successfully prepared by vapor deposition of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to form aerosol silica (SiO₂) particles on SSM followed by coating with the in situ modified SiO₂ generated in the natural rubber (NR) latex for use in oil/seawater separation. The in situ SiO₂ particles were modified with octyltriethoxysilane (OTES) or hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS). Transmission electron microscopy, ²⁹Si solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to determine the structure of the in situ modified SiO₂ generated in the NR latex. Scanning electron microscopy and water contact angle analyses were applied to characterize the morp
