Oil Spill Detection and Mitigation

Oil-spills have devastating effects on the surrounding ecosystems. In article number 2008460, Katja Loos and co-workers report a possible environmental remediation solution using a new generation of biobased superamphiphilic vitrimer epoxy resin (SAVER) membranes to separate oil and water efficiently. The ease with which SAVER membranes can be manufactured, used, recycled, and re-used—without losing value—indicates new directions in designing a closed-loop superamphiphilic membrane life cycle.
