The combination of reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) and emulsion polymerization has recently attracted much attention as a synthetic tool for high-molecular-weight block copolymers and their micellar nano-objects. Up to recently, though, the use of thermoresponsive polymers as both macroRAFT agents and latex stabilizers was impossible in aqueous media due to their hydroph...

Hollow microporous organic nanorods (HMORs) with hypercrosslinked polymer (HCPs) shells were synthesized through emulsion polymerization followed by hypercrosslinking. The HMORs have tunable aspect ratios, high BET surface areas and monodispersed morphologies, showing good performance in gas adsorpion.

A new strategy of molecular imprinting to prepare spherical hydrogels via water-in-oil Pickering emulsion polymerization was developed. The imprinted hydrogels exhibited fast adsorption kinetics and significant selectivity for the target protein.

The synthesis of Laponite®-based nanocomposite latexes by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-mediated surfactant-free emulsion polymerization using different macroRAFT agents is described.

It is demonstrated that the nature of Z-group trithiocarbonate RAFT agents can have a major effect on nucleation step aqueous PISA performed as emulsion polymerization.

Investigation of film formation cationically charged nanolatexes comprised terpene-derived monomer synthesized with emulsion and RAFT-mediated polymerization induce self-assembly on cellulose.

We have developed a new method to produce hybrid particles with polyhedral shapes in very high yield (liter quantities at up to 70% purity) using a combination of emulsion polymerization and inorganic surface chemistry. The procedure has been generalized to create complex geometries, including hybrid line segments, triangles, tetrahedra, octahedra, and more. The optical properties of these part...

High surface area porous conjugated polymers were synthesized via the high internal phase emulsion polymerization technique and micropore engineering as efficient heterogeneous photocatalysts for highly selective oxidation of organic sulfides to sulfoxides under visible light.

Novel polymer based photoluminescent nanoparticles were fabricated by ultra-sound induced emulsion polymerization and applied to bioimaging of human breast cancer SK-BR-3 cells after ethylenediamine treatment and conjugation with anti-ErbB2 antibody.

Semicrystalline microparticles of high molecular mass polyethylene can be prepared as aqueous dispersions by catalytic emulsion polymerization of ethylene with a mini-emulsified catalyst precursor (D$\rm{\frown}$D=salicylaldimine, L=pyridine). Stable polymer latexes are formed.
