Slightly surface-functionalized polystyrene microspheres prepared via Pickering emulsion polymerization using for electrophoretic displays

Photoactive self-cleaning polymer coatings by TiO2 nanoparticle Pickering miniemulsion polymerization

“…These advantages have attracted the attention of the polymer community in the last years and a wide range of hybrid colloidal materials have been synthesized by means of emulsion [21,29,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] or miniemulsion polymerization [31,32,[49][50][51].…”

“…However other inorganic fillers, such as zinc oxide [40,41], magnetite [42], graphene [43,44] or cerium dioxide [51] have also been used. The use of titania NPs as Pickering stabilizers is scarce [30,[45][46][47][48]52] and to the best of our knowledge none of these works have used titania NPs to stabilize film forming latexes for coating applications. Therefore, the photocatalytic efficiency of films cast form waterborne dispersions Pickering stabilized with TiO 2 remains to be demonstrated.…”

Review on Pickering emulsions stabilized by adsorbed nanoparticles: Structure, Thermodynamics, Cage Effect and Subdiffusion

“…Due to their remarkable properties, such as high stability with respect to coalescence and their recent use in nanotechnology leading to the creation and the characterization of the nanoscale structures in new ways, PEs have been the subject of much studies, both from experimental and theoretical point of views. In addition, they can serve as templates for the advanced materials, as Janus colloids [8], composite particles [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], and colloidosomes [19][20][21].…”

Preparation of black pigment with the Couette–Taylor vortex for electrophoretic displays

“…EPDs have been intensively researched because of their advantages: high contrast, wide viewing angle, less eye fatigue, low power consumption, and excellent flexibility (Bert et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2003;Chung and Jean, 2007;Comiskey et al, 1998;Kim et al, 2005Kim et al, , 2014Lee et al, 2013;Oh et al, 2009;Park et al, 2013;Sim et al, 2012;Sun et al, 2013;Yin et al, 2011;Zhao et al, 2011). EPDs basically consist of two parallel electrodes, a dielectric fluid, and two charged pigments which are white and black.…”
