Advances in Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Latex Particles via In Situ Emulsion Polymerization

Hybrid latex particles combine the unique properties of inorganic nano/micro with inherent polymers, exhibiting tremendous potential for a variety applications. Recent years have witnessed an increased interest in design and preparation hybrid well-defined size, structure morphology. Due to its simplicity, versatility environmental friendliness, situ (Pickering) emulsion polymerization has been demonstrated be powerful approach large-scale particles. In this review, strategies applications are systematically summarized. A particular focus is placed on enhanced core–shell, yolk–shell, multinuclear, raspberry-like, dumbbell-shaped, multipod-like or armored morphologies. We hope that considerable advances, examples principles presented review can motivate future contributions provide deeper understanding current technologies, develop new processes, enable further exploitation outstanding characteristics properties.
