Abstract
Electrospinning is a versatile, simple, unique and low-cost technique that yields fibers with a high surface area and high tunable porosity. In recent years, the electrospinning technique has been used for the fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces. These surfaces have been found to be useful for environmental remediation such as separation of oil and water and the removal of heavy metals. These surfaces have also been explored for desalination purposes. This chapter provides an introduction to electrospinning and superhydrophobic surfaces with more emphasis on the application of these surfaces for filtration/sorbents applications. A literature survey on electrospun superhydrophobic surfaces for filtration/sorbents applications is presented. The future prospects of the electrospinning technique for the industrial-scale preparation of superhydrophobic surfaces for filtration/sorbents applications is discussed.
