Inspired by the lotus leaf surface structure, which possesses a hydrophobicity behaviour, a low cost, high performance superhydrophobic and superoleophilic kaolin hollow fibre membrane (KHFM) was obtained by a simple sol-gel grafted method using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and methyltriethoxysilane (MT...
