GRAPHENE REINFORCED POLYSTYRENE COMPOSITE FOR SEPARATION OF NONPOLAR COMPOUNDS FROM WATER

Research output: Patent

Abstract

A composite material of polyurethane foam having a layer of reduced graphene oxide and polystyrene is described. This composite material may be made by contacting a polyurethane foam with a suspension of reduced graphene oxide, drying, and then irradiating in the presence of styrene vapor. The composite material has a hydrophobic surface that may be exploited for separating a nonpolar phase, such as oil, from an aqueous solution.
