Although the commercial polyurethane (PU) foams are hydrophobic in nature, they generally show low degree of reusability for oil and organic solvent absorption. In this work, we proposed a solvent-free and rapid surface functionalization approach based on chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process to i...
