TL;DR: N nanoporous polystyrene fibers prepared via a one-step electrospinning process used as oil sorbents for oil spill cleanup and have great potential for use in wastewater treatment, oil accident remediation and environmental protection.

TL;DR: A direct approach for fabricating nanoporous polymer fibers via electrospinning has been demonstrated and both the specific surface area and pore volume of the fibrous mats showed a unimodal distributions centered at 1/3 THF /DMF mix ratio.

TL;DR: The fabrication of biomimetic superhydrophobic fibrous mats via electrospinning polystyrene (PS) solution in the presence of silica nanoparticles proved to be the key factor affecting the fiber surface morphology and hydrophobicity.

TL;DR: A subtle regulation of micro- and nanostructures of electrospun polystyrene (PS) fibers via tuning the molecular weights of the polymers with different sources, solvent compositions, and solution concentration will widen the range of their applications in self-cleaning materials, ultra-high sensitivity sensors, tissue engineering, ion exchange materials, etc.

TL;DR: A sorbent for oil soak-up from a water surface with a high sorption capacity, good selectivity, and excellent reusability based on the hydrophobic-oleophilic fibrous mats that were fabricated via co-axial electrospinning polystyrene (PS) solution as the shell solution and polyurethane (PU) Solution as the core solution is reported.
