    摘要: There is disclosed a material for separating a liquid from a mixture of at least two liquids, for example, for separating water from fuel. In one embodiment, the material comprises a fibrous substrate and carbon nanotubes, both of which have at least one functional group attached thereto. There is also disclosed a method for separating one liquid from another liquid using the disclosed material. In one embodiment, the method comprises flowing a mixture of liquids through the disclosed material, and either coalescing or separating at least one liquid by use of the carbon nanotubes.

    摘要: Disclosed are a superhydrophilic surface body, a fabricating method thereof, and a filter for oil and water separation, including a superhydrophilic surface. The method for fabricating a superhydrophilic surface body includes a first step of forming a polyaniline nanofiber layer on a surface of a base material, a second step of changing the polyaniline nanofiber layer into a completely oxidized pernigraniline base state, a third step of forming a self-assembled monomolecular film having a polymer polymerization initiation functional group on a surface of the polyaniline nanofiber layer, and a fourth step of forming a silica layer on a surface of the self-assembled monomolecular film. In the third step, the polyaniline nanofiber layer is reduced to a leucoemeraldine state.
