However, a major challenge for superwetting separation materials is the formation of a rejected phase that inevitably leads to fouling and separation failure. Herein, a novel collagen fibers (CFs)-derived superhydrophobic foam was developed by a facile polyurethane foaming approach followed by poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) coating. The as-prepared superhydrophobic CFs foam exhibited a high porosity of 80.21%, a static water contact angle as high as 152.2\u00b0, and outstanding oleophilicity with fast oil infiltration (0.03 s). The as-prepared superhydrophobic CFs foam was further applied to the high-performance separation of surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil (W\/O) emulsions, including surfactant-stabilized W\/O emulsions and mixed surfactant-stabilized W\/O emulsions, with a separation efficiency exceeding 99.99% and a separation flux as high as 113.04 L m\u20132 h\u20131. The high porosity of the superhydrophobic CFs foam ensures the storage of the water phase, thus exhibiting excellent anti-fouling performance and recyclability. This work provides a sustainable strategy for developing biomass-based superwetting foams for efficient emulsion separation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.6c03446","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]],"date-time":"2026-09-17T08:02:09Z","timestamp":1789632129000},"page":"56858-56865","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Collagen Fibers-Derived\nSuperhydrophobic Foams for\nHigh-Performance Separation of Stable Emulsions"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yangjian","family":"Zhan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sichuan University , , ,","place":["Chengdu, P.
