Interfacial Polymerization at the Alkane/Ionic Liquid Interface [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie - International Edition, 2021 AbstractPolymerization at the liquid–liquid interface has attracted much attention for synthesizing ultrathin polymer films for molecular sieving. However, it remains a major challenge to conduct this process outside the alkane–water interface since it not only suffers water‐caused side reactions but also is limited to water‐soluble monomers.

Microscale Interfacial Polymerization on a Chip. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl, 2021 AbstractForming hydrogels with precise geometries is challenging and mostly done using photopolymerization, which involves toxic chemicals, rinsing steps, solvents, and bulky optical equipment. Here, we introduce a new method for in situ formation of hydrogels with a well‐defined geometry in a sealed microfluidic chip by interfacial polymerization. The

Microencapsulation of Photochromic Solution with Polyurea by Interfacial Polymerization. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2021 Photochromic materials are interesting materials because of their color-changing property under UV light and visible light irradiation. However, they are vulnerable to many factors, such as pH oxygen, ion, solvent, etc. because of the unsaturated bonds existing on the photochromic molecular. Microencapsulation of the photochromic materials can separate
