High surface area, emulsion-templated carbon foams by activation of polyHIPEs derived from Pickering emulsions. [PDF]
Carbon foams displaying hierarchical porosity and excellent surface areas of >1400 m2/g can be produced by the activation of macroporous poly(divinylbenzene).

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 ...

Polypeptide-grafted macroporous polyHIPE by surface-initiated N-Carboxyanhydride (NCA) polymerization as a platform for bioconjugation [PDF]
A new class of functional macroporous monoliths from polymerized high internal phase emulsion (polyHIPE) with tunable surface functional groups was developed by direct polypeptide surface grafting.

Chemical functionalization of emulsion-templated porous polymers by thiol–ene “click” chemistry [PDF]
Highly porous polymers (polyHIPEs) have been prepared by the photopolymerization of high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) with varying ratios of thiol and acrylate monomers.

Osteosarcoma growth on trabecular bone mimicking structures manufactured via laser direct write [PDF]
This paper describes the direct laser write of a photocurable acrylate-based PolyHIPE (High Internal Phase Emulsion) to produce scaffolds with both macro- and microporosity, and the use of these scaffolds in osteosarco-ma-based 3D cell culture.

Bioceramic nanocomposite thiol-acrylate polyHIPE scaffolds for enhanced osteoblastic cell culture in 3D [PDF]
Emulsion-templated (polyHIPE) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering were produced by photopolymerisation of a mixture of trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate) and dipentaerythritol penta-/hexa-acrylate in the presence of hydroxyapatite (HA) or ...

Assessing shear, tensile and fracture properties of macroporous nanocomposites using the Arcan test
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
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.

Ex vivo culture of adult CD34+ stem cells using functional highly porous polymer scaffolds to establish biomimicry of the bone marrow niche [PDF]
Haematopoiesis, the process of blood production, occurs from a tiny contingent of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in highly specialised three-dimensional niches located within the bone marrow.
