Absorptive functional fiber for organic liquids is a kind of novel fiber material that can absorb certain organic liquids several times as its original weight. Absorptive functional fiber for organic liquids is characterized by its high absorptive rate

large saturated absorbency

easy recyclable and disposal

which makes it highly promising in the field of environmental protection

water treatment and separation of organic liquids. And it also has become a hot research topic in absorptive materials. In this paper

the history of absorptive functional fiber for organic liquids development has been reviewed; different types of polymers and monomers and preparation methods are introduced; the fiber forming mechanisms of absorptive functional fiber are investigated. In addition

this review illustrates the effects of spinning parameters on fiber structures and properties

and then summarizes the recent advances in regeneration and application field. At last

the promising approaches and developing direction are forecasted.
