Title:
PROCESS OF FABRICATION OF SUBMICRON ALIGNED HYDROPHOBIC AND OLEOPHILIC FIBRE FROM POLYSTYRENE WASTE WITH CONTROLLABLE GEOMETRY USING-CITRUS PEEL EXTRACT AS SOLVENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/083883
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a simple mechanical method of fabrication of sub-micron aligned free standing hydrophobic and oleophilic fibers of polystyrene waste using extracts obtained from the peel of any citrus fruit such as orange, lemon, sweet lime, kinnow etc. as solvent. Fibers are aligned and useful in making different geometries. Process of making film using this process is facile and fast and film obtained is free standing film. Process set-up have minimum requirement and is inexpensive. This method is simple and flexible with respect to set-up and process. This process has the potential of being industrialized. Therefore, this method can be beneficial in dealing with both the orange peel and polystyrene waste.
