Commercially available melamine foam (MF) was dipped in polypropylene (PP)/toluene solution with the concentration of 1% and 2% under refluxing to prepare modified foams with designation of PMF-1 and PMF-2. Fourier transforming infrared spectrum (FT-IR) demonstrates that PP is coated on PMF-1 and PMF-2, respectively. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterization proves that PP is successfully coated on the surface of skeleton in PMF-1 to form convex-concave surface architectures with micro-nano scale. Both PMF-1 and PMF-2 show a high hydrophobicity with the water contact angel of 133° and 138°. PMF-1 exhibits higher oil absorption capacity due to higher porosity. The absorption capacity of PMF-1 for diesel and various solvents including butanol, DMF, toluene and chloroform is in the range of 45.1～98.8 g/g. The absorption capacity retention for all the testing oil and solvent keeps above 93% after 100 cycles of absorption-squeezing. This results demonstrate that the modified foam has a superior recyclability. Moreover, the mechanical testing reveals that the tensile strain at break is improved from 9.4%±1.5% to 17.7%±5.5%. This method is facile with low cost and easily to be scaled-up, and so provides a new approach to prepare oil superabsorbent flexible materials to address oil spill pollution.
