Ultralightweight and Flexible Silylated Nanocellulose Sponges for the Selective Removal of Oil from Water

In this work, we report the facile synthesis of hydrophobic, flexible, and ultralightweight (ρ sponge ≤ 17.3 mg/cm 3 ) nanocellulose sponges using a novel and efficient silylation process in water. These functional materials with high porosity (≥99%) are easily engineered by freeze-drying water susp... View More
