Stereocomplex polylactide and cellulose diacetate derived superwettable nanofibrous membranes for efficiently separation of oil-in-water emulsions

Key Points

• The developed membranes show a high separation efficiency of over 90% for oil-in-water emulsions, indicating significant effectiveness in oil removal.
• Testing involved the innovative use of stereocomplex polylactide and cellulose diacetate as membrane materials for optimal performance.
• Nanofibrous membranes were fabricated through electrospinning, creating structures that effectively separate oil from water emulsions.
• The findings highlight the potential for using these membranes in industrial applications for efficient oil remediation processes.
