Abstract
Abstract Here we report the fabrication and performance of a superoleophilic and anti-bacterial nonwoven nanofibrous poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co-styrene) [ABS]/ZnO electrospun nanocomposite membrane. The electrospun ABS membrane was decorated with floral ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) by a post-treatment method. The pristine ABS and nanocomposite membranes showed super oleophilic nature and could selectively separate different oils from the oil–water mixture by a gravity-driven technique. The ZnO NPs in the nanofiber could enhance the oil flux and also imparted anti-bacterial activity to electrospun ABS membrane against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The current nanofibrous system can be a good candidate for multi-functional oil-water separation.
