New Evidence for the Mechanism of the Pore Formation in Polymerising High Internal Phase Emulsions or Why polyHIPEs Have an Interconnected Pore Network Structure
TLDR
In this paper, the formation of pore throats or pore interconnects in polymerized High Internal Phase Emulsions (polyHIPEs) is most likely due to a mechanical action exerted during the post-synthesis processing of the porous polymer monolith.Abstract:
We present new evidence that the formation of pore throats (windows) or pore interconnects in polymerised High Internal Phase Emulsions (polyHIPEs) is most likely due to a mechanical action exerted during the post-synthesis processing of the porous polymer monolith. We would like to invite researchers interested in this field to reopen the discussion on the mechanism which lead to the formation of pore throats during the polymerisation of concentrated emulsion templates.read more

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.

High internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) — Structure, properties and use in polymer preparation
TL;DR: High internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) as mentioned in this paper are concentrated systems possessing a large volume of internal, or dispersed phase, resulting in deformation of the dispersed phase droplets into polyhedra, which are separated by thin films of continuous phase.

The enhancement of osteoblast growth and differentiation in vitro on a peptide hydrogel—polyHIPE polymer hybrid material
TL;DR: The results show that RAD16-I enhances osteoblast differentiation and indicates that the incorporation of this peptide provides a more permissive environment for osteOBlast growth.
