Pickering emulsion polymerization of graphene oxide-stabilized styrene

Magnetically controllable Pickering emulsion prepared by a reduced graphene oxide-iron oxide composite

“…Up to date, there have been several examples of Pickering emulsions prepared by carbonaceous materials, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [13,16,17], graphene oxide (GO) [18][19][20][21][22][23][24], and GO-derived materials [15,25]. Pickering emulsions stabilized by GO have drawn significant attention owing to the unique 2-D structure and amphiphilic surface properties of GO [19,20].…”

Pickering‐Stabilized Latexes with High Silica Incorporation and Improved Salt Stability

“…Surfactant‐free Pickering‐stabilized polymer dispersions are interesting because they avoid the drawbacks associated to the use of surfactants and at the same time the inorganic material used for the Pickering stabilization may reinforce the mechanical properties of the film . This has attracted much attention to the field and a variety of materials have been synthesized, mainly by means of emulsion and miniemulsion polymerization . Inverse emulsion polymerization has also been used .…”

Water-Borne Polymer/Graphene Nanocomposites

“…When GO was used as a sole stabilizer, the polymerizations were performed either in emulsions or in miniemulsions . The main difference between both techniques is that, in the latter, additional emulsification was usually performed by sonication of the pre‐emulsion, and, in some cases, co‐stabilizer was added to prevent droplet degradation by monomer diffusion .…”

“…Introducing graphene into the polymer matrix through the layer‐by‐layer technique, through blending (in solution, by melting, or by emulsion) and through in situ polymerization has been used to improve the mechanical properties of certain polymers and to introduce electrical conductivity into the insulating polymers. In addition, the introduction of graphene offers other extraordinary properties of the final composites due to its multifunctional nature.…”
