title: Polydimethylsiloxane coated glass frits for low-cost and reusable water-organic solvent separation.
abstract: A technique for functionalizing glass frits is described for use in separating water and organic solvents. The frits are coated with a hydrophobic-oleophilic silicone elastomer, giving rise to a reusable device that allows non-polar solvents to pass through but not water.
