Characterization of porous cellulose triacetate derived from kapok fibres (Ceiba pentandra) as a tool to enhance crude oil absorption

Abstract Oil spills are a common occurrence that threatens marine life, necessitating sustainable remediation methods. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes are known for their hydrophobicity, chemical resistance, and thermal stability, but they are hindered by naturally low porosity due to the h...
