Fluoroalkylsilane-modified polystyrene-coated metal electrodes for sensitive electrochemical detection of oil in water

Overview of Technology Water-resistant coating for metals to detect oil down to 0.1wt% in water, for use in case of oil spill incidents and separation. Description of Technology This is a super hydrophobic/super oleophobic polymeric coating material that can be used as a sensor for oil in water via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The coating...
