The present application relates to the technical field of super-hydrophilic / super-oleophilic materials, and particularly to a preparation method of a super-hydrophilic photo-thermal
composite material with the ability to absorb heavy oil
underwater, which comprises the following steps: first, natural oligomeric amino
polysaccharide is used to synergistically aminate raw cotton with amino
silane coupling agent; then, based on the synergistic
amination system of the raw cotton, polymeric active units and nano-scale heat-conducting particles are introduced into the raw cotton; and finally, the mixed
liquid phase is cured by the hyperbranched
polymer forming method to complete the construction of the super-hydrophilic photo-thermal
composite material with the ability to absorb heavy oil
underwater by the one-pot method. The raw materials of the present application are green and
environmentally friendly, and the experimental steps are simple, safe and convenient. The prepared product has excellent super-hydrophilicity and super-oleophilicity in an
air atmosphere, with a
contact angle of 0°. In an
underwater atmosphere, the product has super-hydrophilicity and excellent
oil absorption performance, and still has stable super-hydrophilicity and
oil absorption capacity after cyclic utilization in different atmospheres. In addition, the product has good photo-thermal performance and good absorption and separation capacity for
viscous oil phases, which lays a foundation for wider application.
