Resum
Microplastic (MP) pollution is a matter of great concern attracting increasing attention due to its adverse effects on the environment. Different technologies and methodologies have been developed to remove these pollutants. Herein, we focus on a promising environmental solution that involves surface modification to change the wettability properties of MPs or solid materials by conferring superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity to increase the selectivity for MP separation. Both processes can be used to selectively separate MPs because of the changes in the wettable properties of the MP or by changing the oil used in the case of superhydrophobic surfaces. We show two distinct methods based on changing the wettability properties of surfaces that could lead to innovative and environmental applications. We also discuss some of the challenges that need to be overcome.
