A few protein- and polysaccharide-based particles can function as effective stabilisers in multi-phase food systems. Combining both polymer-based tailoring the wettability of colloidal systems result particle-stabilised emulsions with great stability. High internal phase (HIPEs) have also been produced using such giving rise to a more stable, highly viscous structure. Thus, purpose here is revi...

Sonogashira coupling of dibromo- and diethynyl-substituted benzenes and fluorenes in aqueous mini-emulsion afforded colloidally stable dispersions of highly fluorescent 60-120 nm particles of poly(arylene ethynylene)s of molecular weights M(n) 4 × 10(4)-2 × 10(5) g mol(-1) with solids contents up to 15 wt %. By covalent incorporation of diethynyl pyrrolo-pyrrole or diethynyl fluorenone in the m...

A series of alkyl chain modified graphene oxides (AmGO) with different alkyl chain length and content was fabricated using a reducing reaction between graphene oxide (GO) and alkyl amine. Then AmGO was used as a graphene-based particle emulsifier to stabilize Pickering emulsion. Compared with the emulsion stabilized by GO, which was oil-in-water type, all the emulsions stabilized by AmGO were w...

The benefits of miniemulsion and emulsion polymerization are combined in a seeded emulsion polymerization process with functional seed particles synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization. A systematic study on the influence of different reaction parameters on the reaction pathway is conducted, including variations of the amount of monomer fed, the ratio of initiator to monomer and the choice o...

a mixture  of  sodium  lauryl  sulfate  (sls)  as  ionic  emulsifer  and  stearyl alcohol as non-ionic emulsifer was employed in a vinyl chloride emulsion polymerization  reaction  to  study  the  infuence  of  various  interactive parameters involved in the reaction system. it was found that the particle size was dependent on the amount and type of emulsifer. the average particle size of polyv...

Metal—Polyaniline nanocomposites such as Platinum-Polyaniline nanocomposite is prepared by insitu oxidative polymerization of aniline and reduction of Pt+4 ions into Pt nanoparticles. Thepolymerization of aniline was carried out in the presence of 1(2PtCN6 [Potassium Hexa CyanoPlatinate (IV)] as oxidizing agent. During the reaction aniline monomers undergo oxidation andform polyaniline (PANT) w...
