Summary: The incorporation of hydrophobic and sparingly water-soluble monomers into emulsion polymer particles is possible and has potential applications in high-performance coatings, adhesives, personal care products, and other functional materials. This study shows that a mixed surfactant system consisting of anionic surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate and certain nonionic surfactants enables the incorporation of hydrophobic siloxane-containing monomers into acrylic latex particles. The mixed surfactant method allows for high loading of hydrophobic monomers while minimizing undesirable macroscopic gel and large particle formation during polymerization.

Summary: This study reports two methods for preparing CO(2-)responsive latexes that can be aggregated/broken by passing electric potential (EP) through the latex medium. It was found that increasing the block length of the CO2-responsive surfactant can increase the particle size and conductivity of the latexes.

Summary: UV spectrophotometry with curcumin as a probe was used to investigate the solution properties of surfactants. The reliability of this method was confirmed by comparing the outcomes with those obtained by the surface tension method. The micellization behaviors of surfactant mixtures were analyzed, and the interaction parameters between the surfactants and their thermodynamic parameters were evaluated.

Summary: The thermodynamic study investigates the inclusion complexes formed between cyclodextrin and surfactants, revealing the impact of hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance on complex formation. It was found that an increase in surfactants' hydrophobicity induced the formation of inclusion complex aggregates.

Summary: This article investigates the detachment process of alkane contaminants from fused silica surfaces in nonionic surfactant solutions at a molecular level using molecular dynamics simulation. The study reveals that factors such as surfactant molecule structure, temperature, and concentration play crucial roles in the cleaning process. High surfactant concentrations can facilitate the removal of oil droplets but may also impact the efficiency of water flooding method.

Summary: Polystyrene latexes were prepared using surfactant-free emulsion polymerization, with the stabilizing moiety originating from either ACPA, AA, or PAA-b-PS. The different stabilizing moieties resulted in different nucleation mechanisms and hence different particle sizes. The average size of the latex particles ranged from 1.3 microns to 50 nm.

Summary: The research focuses on surfactant-free emulsion polymerization using pMAA oligomers as stabilizers, which shows stable latexes with good thermal stability at certain monomer to oligomer molar ratios, and the particle size characteristics of the products are related to the ratio of monomer to oligomer.

Summary: CO2-switchable poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) latexes were prepared by surfactant-free emulsion polymerization. The latexes exhibited superior CO2 responsive behavior and tunable particle size, with the ratio of VA-044:DMAEMA playing a crucial role in determining the particle size and CO2-switchable performance.

Summary: Monodisperse fluorinated nanospheres with regulated diameter (100-200 nm) and low PDI (<0.05) were prepared through polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). Colloidal self-assembly induced by solvent evaporation formed mono/multilayered 2D and large-scale ordered 3D lattices. This work demonstrates the promising application of PISA in colloidal self-assembly.

Summary: Amphiphilic, semi-fluorinated di and triblock copolymers were synthesized via polymerization-induced self-assembly under alcoholic dispersion polymerization conditions. The study investigated the influence of the length, nature, and position of the solvophobic semi-fluorinated block, showing that the order of the blocks and the number of fluorine atoms impact the microphase segregation of the core-forming blocks and the final morphology of the nano-objects.

Summary: A novel initiator for acrylamide polymerization was discovered, leading to the formation of crosslinked polyacrylamide. The synthesized polymer network exhibits low crosslinking density and high equilibrium swelling capacity. The initiator shows potential for combining polymerization with gel molding and drying processes.
