Templating Vesicles, Microemulsions, and Lyotropic Mesophases by Organic Polymerization Processes

摘要: The self-organized templates that form in surfactant solutions can direct the synthesis of organic polymers. Several examples such syntheses are reviewed here, beginning with discussion use vesicles to guide formation spherical polymer shells. This process produce a variety morphologies including, under certain conditions, desired Microemulsions, defined as equilibrium microstructured fluids containing oil, water, and surfactant, be used latex dispersions high molecular weight polymers having relatively narrow size distribution. experimental theoretical aspects this now fairly well understood summarized. Finally, recent efforts lyotropic phases template reviewed. For each these morphologies, final product materials reflect delicate balance between phase behavior reaction mass transfer parameters controlling structure during synthesis.
