Ultrathin microporous membrane with high oil intrusion pressure for effective oil/water separation

Hydrophilically-modified mesh filter membranes have been widely researched for oil/water separation due to their high permeating flux and excellent separation efficiency. However, the low oil pressure resistance of mesh membrane is a major drawback limiting its practical oil/water separation applications. In this work, we report an ultrathin microporous membrane developed via the decoration of a stainless steel mesh filter with electrospun...
