Summary: This study presents a unique strategy to obtain hydrophobic and super robust aerogels from polycarbonate wastes. The addition of organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) promotes the ring opening of the oxazine rings in the polymer matrix and strengthens the prepared aerogels by forming a stronger honeycomb network structure through hydrogen bonding. The resulting aerogels exhibit excellent mechanical properties, hydrophobic properties, and oil-water emulsion separation, and have potential industrial applications while solving the waste disposal dilemma.

Summary: This study investigates the wettability of ZnO-T coatings in relation to surface morphology and DLC:SiOx film parameters. ZnO-Ts with different leg lengths show varying degrees of wettability, which can be further changed by keeping the samples in the dark at room temperature. DLC:SiOx films significantly enhance the hydrophobicity of ZnO-T coatings, and their thickness affects the surface roughness and hydrophobicity. Additionally, DLC:SiOx films provide protection against abrasion and light-induced effects. The results suggest that the largest ZnO-T fraction with a 40 nm thickness of DLC:SiOx film provides the best hydrophobicity, while the smallest ZnO-T fraction with a 120 nm thickness of DLC:SiOx film offers better mechanical durability. The detailed analysis conducted in this study can be beneficial for the application of other nanostructures with protective coatings in wettability control.
