“…Among various forms of carbon materials, carbon microspheres (CMSs) have attracted substantial attention due to their particular physical properties, including minimal surface energies, controllable sizes, and diverse morphologies (hollow, hard-spherules, and beads) [1]. The CMSs have been used for various applications such as hydrogen storage [2], fuel cells [3], catalysts [4], adsorbents [5], supercapacitors [6] and drug delivery [7] due to their remarkable chemical stability, high thermal conductivity, excellent heat resistance, electrical conductivity, and self-sintering properties [8].…”

“…Their results also showed that increasing the density of hydrophobic grafts leads to increases in solution viscosity due to an increased number of hydrophobic junctions. Hydrophobically modified chitosan (HMC) has also shown the ability to form gels in the presence of hydrophobic nanoparticles , and vesicles, while chitosan without hydrophobic modification is unable to achieve this phenomenon.…”

“…Such uniformly sized microspheres can be prepared through the hydrothermal decomposition of simple saccharides (e.g., sucrose, glucose, and cyclodextrins) 14 and sugar-based materials to produce monodisperse spheres of controllable size with potential applications in catalysis, 15 energy storage, 16 and lubrication. 17 In this letter, we show that particles formed by this synthesis strategy are effective at stabilizing water-in-trichloroethylene emulsions, and the observations address the self-assembly of such hard carbon microspheres (HCS) at the interface between water and trichloroethylene (TCE). The choice of TCE as the organic phase is based on the compelling environmental application of using carbon particles to remediate TCE.…”

“…Our focus in this letter is to adapt a simple technology that leads to the synthesis of uniform and controllable submicrometer-sized carbon spheres and to study these particles at liquid interfaces with an environmental remediation application as the longer-term objective. Such uniformly sized microspheres can be prepared through the hydrothermal decomposition of simple saccharides (e.g., sucrose, glucose, and cyclodextrins) and sugar-based materials to produce monodisperse spheres of controllable size with potential applications in catalysis, energy storage, and lubrication . These carbon particles are nanoporous with disordered graphitic layers and a N 2 adsorption surface area of about 400 m 2 /g 14 .…”
