Preparation and characterisation of poly(high internal phase emulsion) methacrylate monoliths and their application as separation media

Tailoring morphological features of cross-linked emulsion-templated poly(glycidyl methacrylate)

“…[11] Besides improvement of mechanical properties, the manipulation of the morphology over a wide range is of great interest. So in order to successfully control the morphological features, influence of different polymerisation factors was investigated.…”

“…[8,9] Epoxy groups, which can be further functionalised to, for example, ion exchange groups, [10] make GMA suitable monomer for chromatographic applications. [11] So far GMA-based polyHIPEs have been successfully prepared and used as catalyst supports, [12] as filtration media [13] for protein separation [11,[14][15][16] and as columns for liquid chromatography. [17][18][19] For such applications, a significant pressure of mobile phase is usually used, and therefore, appropriate mechanical properties are also needed.…”

Tailoring the mechanical and thermal properties of dicyclopentadiene polyHIPEs with the use of a comonomer

“…Recently, a polyHIPE membrane produced by ROMP of DCPD and norbornene has been utilised as a separator in Li-ion batteries [31] and in another study macroporous polyolefin membranes were prepared by using the same approach [32]. PolyHIPEs have been explored for a wide range of applications [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. However, the poor mechanical strength originated from the highly porous and interconnected morphology is the major deficiency restricting the commercial applications.…”

Interconnected Porous Material Prepared Via High Internal Phase Emulsion Stabilized by Mixture of Fe3O4and Tween85

“…These PolyHIPE have been found a variety of applications including catalytic supports [2], chromatographic separation [3,4], scaffolds for tissue engineering [5], etc. Pickering emulsion is stabilized by nanometer-or micrometer-sized particles 6 .…”
