A one-step procedure is presented for developing novel superhydrophobic oil-water separation membranes, based on composites of nanoparticles and polymers. The combination of hydrophilic particles with hydrophobic polymers allows obtaining superhydrophobic coatings on metal meshes, with chemical and physical stability. The methodology consists of coating SiO2 hydrophilic nanoparticles with two hydrophobic polymers (polydimethylsiloxane and polyvinylidene fluoride, PDMS and PVDF, respectively) on metal meshes. The nanoparticles generate roughness in the nanoscale, while the combination of PVDF and PDMS provides hydrophobicity, chemical resistance, and reinforce of mechanical properties. Membranes were characterized by XPS, SEM, TEM, FTIR, TGA...
