Summary

Researchers fabricated a fluorine-free polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-functionalised sponge with durable superhydrophobicity using UV-assisted thiol-ene chemistry, creating a material intended for oil-water separation and environmental remediation applications without reliance on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.

A fluorine-free POSS-functionalized sponge with durable superhydrophobicity was fabricated via a UV-assisted thiol–ene click reaction, enabling efficient and reusable removal of microplastics and oil pollutants from water.
