- , solution, emulsion, and suspension; and (iv) inexpensive and facile set-ups compared to other polymerization techniques [20]. There are four common industrial methods of radical polymerization [2] as shown in Table 1. The only components of a bulk polymerization mixture are monomers, the initiator, and
- . Emulsion polymerization is also a widely-used method in radical polymerization. It is applied to produce several commercially important polymers such as acrylic rubber, nitrile rubber, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Polymerization happens in latex or colloid particles that are formed under the action

The simultaneous presence of a hydrophobic head and a hydrophilic tail on emulsifiers provides the ability to combine water and oil phase into an emulsion. In emulsion polymerization, high molecular weights can be achieved at fast polymerization rates

- -II (77% conversion in MeOH/H2O 1:3 and 29% conversion in MeOH/H2O 3:1). The drastic loss of activity can be traced back to the better activity of G-II under aqueous-emulsion conditions and the poor solubility of G-II in MeOH. These results suggest how important the role of the hydrophobic effect is

- , the added advantage of the protocol is that when LiNTf2 is used instead of Lewis acids, the work-up is easier as no vexatious emulsion was formed. However, the need for 0.5 equiv of the promoter and the sluggishness (20 h) of the reaction make the method less favorable when compared to other Lewis

- droplets [25]. So-called Pickering emulsions, however, are stabilised solely by solid colloidal particles which can adsorb to droplet interfaces forming a protective layer endowing the emulsion with extremely high stability to coalescence [26]. Examples of suitable particles include silica, alumina, metals

A mini-review of the area of Pickering emulsion interfacial catalysis appeared in 2015 [30]. In this work an outlook
- reduction of catalyst particles As mentioned before, the as synthesised catalyst particles have particle diameters in the range of 10–100 µm. Since the stabilisation of micron-sized Pickering emulsion droplets requires particle sizes <1 μm, a decrease of particle size was necessary. For that purpose, a
