✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Summary: A composite film composed of porous polyurethane (PU) and polystyrene (PS) microspheres with both superhydrophobicity and superoleophilicity has been prepared. In this film, the dual‐scale structure enhances both the hydrophobicity and oleophilicity of the surface material. The composite film with such an ‘intelligent’ wettability property can be utilized to separate oil and water systems efficiently.
The composite film can be used to separate diesel oil and water.

## Abstract **Summary:** A responsive polymer composite film was generated by the use of reversibly switchable surface morphology of polystyrene‐__block__‐poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS‐__b__‐PMMA) films in response to different block selective solvents on the rough isotactic poly(propylene) (i‐PP)
## Abstract The photodegradation of the silicone surfactant–TiO~2~ composite films was characterized by FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope. After photocatalytic degradation, the FTIR SiOSi peak intensity of the composite film remained unchanged, implying no cleavage of Si
