A crude oil spill is a common issue during offshore oil drilling, transport and transfer to
onshore. Second, the production of petroleum refinery effluent is known to cause pollution …

Lipopeptides are amphiphilic peptides in which an aliphatic chain is attached to either the C
or N terminus of peptides. Their self-assembly—into micelles, vesicles, nanotubes, fibres or …

Conventional polymer filtration membranes suffer from low efficiency, easy fouling and
serious degradation in harsh environments, due to its low chemical and separation stability …

Recently, porous hydrophobic/oleophilic materials (PHOMs) have been shown to be the
most promising candidates for cleaning up oil spills; however, due to their limited absorption …

Multiple research areas have emerged in view of the deleterious impacts of oil-spills on the
environment and the relative intractability of the problem per se. The dimensions mostly …

Marine oil spills constitute an environmental disaster with severe adverse effects on the
economy and ecosystem. Phase‐selective organogelators (PSOGs), molecules that can …

A series of peptides with a long fatty acyl chain covalently attached to the C-terminal part
and a free amine (-NH2) group at the N-terminus have been designed so that these …

A dipeptide-based synthetic amphiphile bearing a myristyl chain has been found to form
hydrogels in the pH range 6.9–8.5 and organogels in various organic solvents including …

Superhydrophobic and superoleophilic porous reduced graphene oxide/polycarbonate
(RGO/PC) monoliths with novel micro-nanoscale binary structure were first fabricated by …

A series of amphiphilic tyrosine based self-healable, multi-stimuli responsive metallo-
hydrogels have been discovered. Formation of these hydrogels is highly selective to Ni2+ …
