Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019 Abstract PolyHIPEs (polymers synthesized within high internal phase emulsions) are porous materials with high specific surface area which suggests their use in ion exchange applications. We have successfully synthesized and functionalized such materials to make then hydrophilic by mixing an oil phase and an aqueous phase containing ...

Assessing shear, tensile and fracture properties of macroporous nanocomposites using the Arcan test
Polymer Testing, 2022 Macroporous polymers and nanocomposites remain popular materials due to their low densities and unique interconnected pore structures. The determination of mechanical properties in relevant loading conditions, such as shear, remains largely underexplored

Photocatalytic Activity of Titania/Polydicyclopentadiene PolyHIPE Composites
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, 2017 Macroporous polymer composites with photocatalytic activity are prepared by the polymerization of surface modified TiO2 nanoparticle stabilized high internal phase emulsions. Poly(ethylene glycol‐b‐propylene glycol‐b‐ethylene glycol) triblock copolymer is used to synthesize surface modified TiO2 anatase via a sol–gel method.

Manufacturing of PolyHIPE-based Porous Microparticles for Bone Tissue Engineering [PDF]
, 2014 Particle-based systems have great potential as scaffolds for tissue engineering, since they are injectable, avoiding the need for open surgery. When a bone cancer is removed, the void that’s formed requires filling with a biomaterial to encourage bone ...

Porous microspheres support mesenchymal progenitor cell ingrowth and stimulate angiogenesis [PDF]
, 2018 Porous microspheres have the potential for use as injectable bone fillers to obviate the need for open surgery. Successful bone fillers must be able to support vascularisation since tissue engineering scaffolds often cease functioning soon after ...
