Synthetic strategies for raspberry-like polymer composite particles

Abstract

The strategies used for the preparation of raspberry-like polymer composite particles are summarized comprehensively.

Separation of 47Sc produced from natCa(n, γ) reaction for potential medical applications by a synthesized raspberry‐like structure of metal‐organic framework material

“…It is important to talk about the mechanism of raspberries formation. Raspberry‐like particles are prepared via hetero‐phase polymerization of monomer(s) in the presence of cupric oxide that acts as a stabilizer of raspberries particles [28].…”

Synthetic Strategies for Polymer Particles with Surface Concavities

“…The raspberry-like particle is a typical convex particle having many smaller corona particles around a larger core particle. [7] The unique core-corona morphology of this type of particle makes it an ideal hard template for the fabrication of golf ball-like particle by selective removal of the corona particles. Raspberrylike core-corona particles with both polymer-inorganic [41][42][43][44] and polymer-polymer [45][46][47][48][49][50] structures can be used as templates for golf ball-like polymer particles.…”

“…In general, polymer particles prepared by heterogeneous polymerization have a spherical shape due to the minimization of the interfacial free energy between the particles and the medium. However, during the past decades, considerable effort has been devoted to the elaboration of nonspherical polymer particles with various shapes, such as raspberry‐like, [ 7 ] dumbbell‐like, [ 8 ] snowman‐like, [ 9 ] mushroom‐like, [ 10 ] hemispherical, [ 11 ] ellipsoidal, [ 12 ] disc‐like, [ 13 ] cylindrical, [ 14 ] and golf ball‐like. [ 15 ] Among the various types of nonspherical polymer particles, those with surface concavities represent a challenging class of shape‐anisotropic particles.…”

Silica-Supported Styrene-Co-Divinylbenzene Pickering Emulsion Polymerization: Tuning Surface Charge and Hydrophobicity by pH and Co-Aid Adsorption

“…Nowadays, great industrial and academic interests are focused on the design of hybrid nanocomposite materials because they exhibit fascinating properties when inorganic and organic nascent compounds are ingeniously combined [1][2][3][4][5]. These hybrid materials can be engineered in such a way that could bring about electrical, optical, magnetic, or mechanical properties [6][7][8][9] while displaying various morphologies, including spherical, raspberry-like, snowman-like, or hollow microspheres [10][11][12][13]. Thus, these materials are successfully used in diverse application fields such as electronics, optics, biomedicine, catalysis, cosmetics, adsorption, and separation processes [14][15][16].…”
