• [25] and various paths to obtain ZnO colloids have been reviewed by Spanhel [26]. Suitable methods for the synthesis of pure and doped ZnO NPs involve colloidal, sol–gel or solvo-/hydrothermal methods [27], microemulsion and miniemulsion methods [28] or non-aqueous sol–gel routes [29]. Recently, some

• polymerization or modification of polymers in stable nanodroplets. We present here an overview of the different polymer syntheses within the miniemulsion droplets as reported in the literature, and of the current trends in the field.

• -free miniemulsions can be formed in direct or inverse systems. Polymers can be synthesized in a miniemulsion system in the dispersed phase, at the interface of the droplets, or in the continuous phase, although only the two first possibilities are usually found in the literature. In principle, the
