Pickering emulsions are dispersions of immiscible fluids stabilised exclusively by solid particles adsorbing at the interface, offering superior resistance to coalescence compared with conventional ...

Pickering emulsion polymerization harnesses the stabilising action of colloidal particles at oil–water interfaces to produce polymeric nanoparticles with inorganic or hybrid shells. Unlike ...

A versatile surfactant-free emulsion construction strategy is proposed to customize functional hydrogels. The synergistic emulsification mechanism between amphiphilic polymers and MXene is ...

The global push to reduce plastic waste has intensified interest in paper as a sustainable packaging material. Derived from renewable plant fibers, paper is biodegradable, recyclable, and widely ...

Applications in a wide variety of fields can benefit from the use of pickering emulsions as a result of their strong stability when compared to systems which are stabilized by surfactants. These ...

The new Pickering emulsion stabilizer Fluoro-Phase is a fluorinated continuous phase that has been specially formulated to stabilize aqueous droplets in microfluidic systems. Unlike most emulsion ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technique for successfully encapsulating bacteria that can then be stored and applied to plants to improve plant growth and protect against pests and pathogens. The ...

Wastewater often contains a cocktail of organic pollutants, ranging from pesticides to pharmaceutical residues. These are difficult to remove using conventional purification methods. However, a recent ...
