“…Typically, one way was employed to prepare the multi-functional MEPCMs, for instance, the functional NPs ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ), titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), zinc oxide (ZnO), metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), and were embedded into the polymeric shell, or the functional inorganic shells like TiO 2 , cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O), tin dioxide (SnO 2 ), and cadmium sulfide (CdS) were directly used for the shell to achieve the UV shielding, fluorescent, photothermal conversion, photocatalysis, antibacterial, and thermal conduction, etc. [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. In our previous work [ 29 ], a kind of MEPCM with TiO 2 /PDVB hybrid shell was fabricated by Pickering emulsion polymerization; nevertheless, the use efficiency of single functional TiO 2 NPs in the MEPCM is relatively low, nonfunctional PDVB shell could not achieve a synergetic combination of NPs and shell for further improving the multi-functionality especially the photocatalysis.…”
