Polycarbonates are all around us: in your plastic drinks bottle; the lenses of your glasses; and the scratch-resistant coating on your phones CDs and DVDs. But they are made from crude oil, a finite resource, making them unsustainable.

To address some of the serious concerns surrounding the methods in which oil is removed from water in the event of a serious spill, such as those that have occurred several times over the past few decades around the world, a team of Researchers from the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a way in which up to 99.9% of the oil is removed from water.
