Hyperbranched or highly branched polymers from A2+ B3 step-growth polymerization have
received considerable attention as an emerging area of research due to their …

This review is devoted to non-hydrolytic sol-gel chemistry. During the last 25 years, non-
hydrolytic sol-gel (NHSG) techniques were found to be attractive and versatile methods for …

Aerogel fibers, the simultaneous embodiment of aerogel 3D network and fibrous geometry,
have shown great advantages over natural and synthetic fibers in thermal insulation …

Over the past decade, there has been an increasing number of reports on low-temperature
preparations of oxides and organic− inorganic hybrids (including sol− gel, solvothermal …

Traditional oxide ceramics are inherently brittle and highly sensitive to defects, making them
vulnerable to failure under external stress. As such, endowing these materials with high …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are rod‐like nanoparticles extracted from cellulose. Due to
their fascinating properties—renewable, biocompatible, non‐toxic, biodegradable, excellent …

We report on the preparation of all-silica colloidosomes with adjustable size, shell structure,
mechanical strength, and permeability. Our approach is based on the coassembly at the …

Double emulsions are complex fluid systems, in which droplets of a dispersed liquid phase
contain even smaller dispersed liquid droplets. Particularly, water-in-oil-in-water double …

A facile method to prepare colloidosomes at room temperature from inverse water-in-oil
(w/o) Pickering emulsions containing silica precursors and stabilized by cinnamate modified …

Silica Janus nanoparticles have great potential to improve the compatibility of immiscible
polymer blends due to their synergetic amphiphilicity and Pickering effect. However, a great …
