Therefore a nontoxic, quick, effortless, cost-efficient, and ready-to-go technique is required. Superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) surfaces were successfully prepared using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) and were characterized by contact angle measurements and ellipsometry. The contact angles obtained for the p-(SBMA) grafted glass slides in-air (8-13º) and underwater (162-169º) allow them to be classified as superhydrophilic and superoleophobic respectively. The p-(SBMA) grafted glass fiber filters showed exceptional results at separating water from oil without even allowing miniscule amounts of visible oil to permeate through. The p-(SBMA) grafted glass fiber filters can be used for oil-water separation purposes, while the p-(SBMA) grafted glass slides can be used for self-cleaning, while both can be used for antifouling applications. 2012-12-18 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1353362655 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1353362655 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
