Core cross-linked and pH-responsive particulate emulsifiers from direct chemical preparation of divinylbenzene with P(AA-r-St) macro-CTA

A new type of spherical-like colloidal particles with a cross-linked poly(DVB) core and a poly (acrylic acid-r-styrene) (PAS) shell were prepared and utilized as effective particulate emulsifiers to stablize oil-in-water emulsions.
