Hydrophobic and oleophilic sorbent wipes were developed through the combination of electrospun PLA mats and highly porous polymeric fiber filling. Both the morphologic and wetting properties of the mats, and the functionality as oil sorbents of the combination of polymers were characterized. The resulting wipes show good resistance to wetting by water, high absorbance of oils, and low weight
