Journal ArticleDOI
High Internal Phase Emulsions Stabilized Solely by Functionalized Silica Particles
TL;DR: High Internal Phase Emulsions (HIPEs) are important for a wide range of applications in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and petroleum industries and can be used as templates for the synthesis of highly porous polymers with potential applications as low weight structures or scaffolds in tissue engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Permeable Macroporous Polymers Synthesized from Pickering Medium and High Internal Phase Emulsion Templates
TL;DR: This work has shown that conventional polyHIPEs synthesized from surfactant stabilized water-in-oil (w/o) HIPEs have poor mechanical properties and low permeabilities, and this challenge could be addressed by employing high internal phase emulsions (HIPE), whose continuous phase consists of monomers.
Journal ArticleDOI
High internal phase emulsion templates solely stabilised by functionalised titania nanoparticles
TL;DR: Porous polymer foams (poly-Pickering-HIPEs) have been synthesised from stable high internal phase emulsion templates solely stabilised by low concentrations of functionalised titania nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle-Stabilized Surfactant-Free Medium Internal Phase Emulsions as Templates for Porous Nanocomposite Materials: poly-Pickering-Foams
TL;DR: The addition of the CNTs not only provides processing advantages but also enhances the mechanical and electrical properties of the final polyFoams, which allows the manufacture of both closed- and open-celled porous polymer foams in a one-pot process with porosities up to 66%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tailoring mechanical properties of highly porous polymer foams: Silica particle reinforced polymer foams via emulsion templating
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize highly open porous low-density polymer foams with superior mechanical properties by the polymerisation of the organic phase of concentrated emulsions, which is a continuous phase of the concentrated emulsion template occupying up to 40 vol% of the volume.
