Abstract

An aqueous mixture of hydrophilic and hydrophobic cross-linked copolymers was prepared and coated on the surface of filter paper to improve the water and oil resistances. The mixture was mainly composed of sodium alginate and hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) cross-linked network. The results indicated that the resistances to both water and oil of the resulting paper were significantly enhanced. The water contact angle results demonstrated that the mixture enhanced the hydrophobic properties of the coated paper greatly with water contact angles higher than 110°, and the coated paper showed excellent oil resistance with a Kit number as high as 10.
