Biocatalytic nanoparticles for the stabilization of degassed single electron transfer-living radical pickering emulsion polymerizations

Abstract

The use of solid particles to stabilize Pickering emulsions is a particularly attractive avenue, but oxygen sensitivity remains an obstacle in controlled polymerization reactions. Here, the authors show that lignin nanoparticles coated with chitosan and glucose oxidase enable efficient stabilization of Pickering emulsion and in situ enzymatic degassing of living radical polymerization.
