TL;DR: A non-ionic surfactant system is synthesized by standard grafting of poly(ethylene oxide) from renewable lignin fragments and used for the emulsion polymerization of styrene as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The first example of particles synthesized by direct emulsification of polypeptides found to display spiral morphologies in the dry state is reported, involving fibril bundling of coiled α-helices.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple two-step process is used to prepare conductive stimuli-responsive polypyrrole (PPy) composite hydrogel particles with strong magnetic properties.

TL;DR: This paper showed that the formation of anisotropic colloidal polymer particles via aqueous heterophase polymerization is essentially controlled by the entropy gain of the linear fraction in the semi-interpenetrating network of the seed particles during swelling.

TL;DR: Homogeneous aragonite flowers with controlled surface structures can be synthesized by using a thermosensitive polymer, i.e. poly (ethylene glycol)- poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)-poly(acrylamido methyl propane sulfonate) (PEG-PNIPAM-PAMPS) as a crystal growth modifier in the mineralization of calcium carbonate.
