  Abstract

A straightforward approach was proposed to modify cotton fabric for oil/water separation based on musselinspired reaction. The poly(DMA-Octadecyl acrylate) was designed to contain key chemical constituents present in mussel adhesive proteins by free radical polymerization of dopamine hydrochloride and octadecyl acrylate, which strongly adsorbed to fabric substrates, providing a special surface for fabric. The chemical structure, surface topography, and surface wettability of the fabric were characterized. The results showed that as-prepared cotton fabric displayed a high CA of >150 o when dripped water droplets were on the modified fabric surface, and the oil contact angle (OCA) was close to 0 o, it had excellent potential to be used in practical applications and has created a new method of fabric modification for oil/water separation.
