Highly porous and chemical resistive P(TFEMA–DVB) monolith with tunable morphology for rapid oil/water separation
A facile preparation for a series of porous poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate–divinylbenzene) P(TFEMA–DVB) foams is discussed in this paper. The foams have adjustable morphology utilizing a suitable commercial surfactant, Hypermer B246, as stabilizer, and were compared with traditional organic s...

description | A facile preparation for a series of porous poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate–divinylbenzene) P(TFEMA–DVB) foams is discussed in this paper. The foams have adjustable morphology utilizing a suitable commercial surfactant, Hypermer B246, as stabilizer, and were compared with traditional organic surfactants or macromolecular block-polymers. Combining the porous properties and advantages of fluorine atoms, this type of fluoropolymer exhibited superb chemical stability and hydrophobicity performances with high porosity. These porous fluoro-monoliths preserved their regular porous structure without any degradation after immersion into strong acidic or basic solution for three days, hence demonstrating an excellent potential to deal with environmental pollution caused by oil spillages in severe environments. The tunable morphology (open and closed pores) and pore sizes were achieved by investigating various parameters like surfactant concentration, amount of external crosslinker, and aqueous phase volume. Droplet sizes of HIPEs were characterized using an optical microscope under different experimental conditions. The influence of pore structure and surface properties of polyHIPE on water contact angle and oil adsorption capacity was also explored. The results indicated that the porous material has an excellent oleophilicity and hydrophobicity, with water contact angles (WCA) up to 146.4°. Additionally, the results presented a noticeable adsorption with a very fast rate towards organic oils from either a water surface or bottom with adsorption saturation achieved in about 120 s. The prepared polyHIPEs showed a good recycling ability; even after 10 adsorption–centrifugation experiments, the adsorption capacity was still more than 85%. |
