Abstract
Over the past two decades, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have captured significant attention as an emergent class of solvents that have unique properties and applications in differing fields of chemistry. One area where DES systems find utility is the design of polymeric gels, often referred to as "eutectogels," which can be prepared either using a DES to replace a traditional solvent, or where monomers form part of the DES themselves. Due to the extensive network of intramolecular interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding) and ionic species that exist in DES systems, polymeric eutectogels often possess appealing material properties-high adhesive strength, tuneable viscosity, rapid polymerization kinetics, good conductivity, as well as high strength and flexibility. In addition, non-covalent crosslinking approaches are possible due to the inherent interactions that exist in these materials. This review considers several key applications of polymeric eutectogels, including organic electronics, wearable sensor technologies, 3D printing resins, adhesives, and a range of various biomedical applications. The design, synthesis, and properties of these eutectogels are discussed, in addition to the advantages of this synthetic approach in comparison to traditional gel design. Perspectives on the future directions of this field are also highlighted.

Ring-opening polymerization of emulsion-templated deep eutectic system monomer for macroporous polyesters with controlled degradability. RSC APPLIED POLYMERS 2024; 2:403-414.

Abstract
Biodegradable polyesters with interconnected macroporosity, such as poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), have gained significant importance in the fields of tissue engineering and separation. This study introduces functional macroinitiators, specifically polycaprolactone triol (PCLT) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), both OH-terminated, in the solventless ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of a liquid deep eutectic system monomer (DESm) composed of LLA and CL at a 30 : 70 molar ratio, respectively. The macroinitiators selectively initiate the organocatalyzed ROP of LLA in the DESm during the first polymerization stage, thereby modifying the PLLA architecture. This results in the formation of either branched or linear PLLA copolymers depending on the macroinitiator, PCLT and PEG, respectively. In the second stage, the ROP of the CL, which is a counterpart of the DESm, produces PCL that blends with the previously formed PLLA. The insights gained into the PLLA architectures during the first stage of the DESm ROP, along with the overall molecular weight and hydrophobicity of the resulting PLLA/PCL blend in bulk, were advantageously used to design polymerizable high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) oil-in-DESm. By incorporating a liquid mixture of DESm and macroinitiators (PCLT or PEG), stable HIPE formulations were achieved. These emulsions sustained the efficient organocatalyzed ROP of the continuous phase at 37 °C with high conversions. The resulting polymer replicas of the HIPEs, characterized by macroporous and interconnected structures, were subjected to a degradation assay in PBS at pH 7.4 and 37 °C and remained mechanically stable for at least 30 days. Notably, they exhibited the capability to sorb crude oil in a proof-of-concept test, with a rate of 2 g g-1. The macroporous and interconnected features of the polyHIPEs, combined with their inherent degradation properties, position them as promising degradable polymeric sorbents for efficient separation of hydrophobic fluids from water.

Abstract
Solvent-free photopolymerization of vinyl monomers to produce high modulus materials with applications in 3D printing and photoswitchable materials is demonstrated. Polymerizable eutectic (PE) mixtures are prepared by simply heating and stirring various molar ratios of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), acrylamide (AAm) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). The structural and thermal properties of the resulting mixtures are evaluated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy as well as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). UV photocuring kinetics of the PE mixtures is evaluated via in situ photo-DSC and photorheology measurements. The PE mixtures cure rapidly and display storage moduli that are orders of magnitude greater than equivalent copolymers cured in an aqueous medium. The versatility of these PE systems is demonstrated through the addition of a photoswitchable spiropyran acrylate monomer, as well as applying the PE formulation as a stereolithography (SLA)-based 3D printing resin. Due to the hydrogen-bonding network in PE systems, 3D printing of the eutectic resin is possible in the absence of crosslinkers. The addition of a RAFT agent to reduce average polymer chain length enables 3D printing of materials which retain their shape and can be dissolved on demand in appropriate solvents.

Abstract
High internal phase emulsion (HIPE) technology has been emerged as a prodigious source to create tailor-made porous structures. This type of emulsion contains significantly higher amount of water in it, which is only possible with special type of stabilizers. Most specifically, the monomers with sufficiently high solubility in water such as methyl methacrylate (MMA) make it more cumbersome to stabilize in the form of HIPE. Here we have reported the combination of stabilizers including fluorinated block copolymer Poly (2-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-b-Poly(trifluoroethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA-b-PTFEMA) and humic acid modified iron-oxide (HA-Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) to stabilize HIPE, which resulted in highly porous and interconnected products. Fluorinated block copolymers with inherent hydrophobic nature along with iron oxide nanoparticles increased the water repellency of MMA based polymeric monoliths. Increasing the amount of stabilizer increased the porosity and BET specific surface area to 83.8% and 27 ± 0.8 μm, respectively. The prepared porous materials demonstrated hydrophobic characteristics while adsorbing oil from the surface of water up to 16 g/g. Moreover, the adsorbed oil from the prepared monolith was recovered by using simple centrifugation method without damaging the structure. This research opens new avenues to prepare more useful oil and water separation materials such as membranes, pollutant adsorbers, and so on.

Abstract
In this work, we report a nonaqueous one-step method to synthesize polystyrene macroporous magnetic nanocomposites through high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) formulated with the deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of urea:choline chloride (U:ChCl, in a 2:1 molar ratio) as the internal phase and co-stabilized with mixtures of Span 60 surfactant and non-functionalized magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs). The porous structure and the magnetic and lipophilic properties of the nanocomposite materials were easily tailored by varying the amount of Fe3O4 NPs (0, 2, 5 and 10 wt %) and the surfactant Span 60 (0, 5, 10, and 20 wt %) used in the precursor emulsion. The resultant nanocomposite polyHIPEs exhibit high sorption capacity toward different oils (hexane, gasoline, and vegetable oil) due to their high porosity, interconnectivity, and hydrophobic surface. It was observed that the oil sorption capacity was improved when the amount of surfactant decreased and Fe3O4 NPs increased in HIPE formulation. Therefore, polyHIPE formulated with 5 and 10 wt % Span 60 and Fe3O4 NPs, respectively, showed the highest oil sorption capacities of 4.151, 3.556, and 3.266 g g-1 for gasoline, hexane, and vegetable oil, respectively. In addition, the magnetic monoliths were reused for more than ten sorption/desorption cycles without losing their oil sorption capacity.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) represent an emergent class of green designer solvents that find numerous applications in different aspects of chemical synthesis. A particularly appealing aspect of DES systems is their simplicity of preparation, combined with inexpensive, readily available starting materials to yield solvents with appealing properties (negligible volatility, non-flammability and high solvation capacity). In the context of polymer science, DES systems not only offer an appealing route towards replacing hazardous volatile organic solvents (VOCs), but can serve multiple roles including those of solvent, monomer and templating agent-so called "polymerizable eutectics." In this review, we look at DES systems and polymerizable eutectics and their application in polymer materials synthesis, including various mechanisms of polymer formation, hydrogel design, porous monoliths, and molecularly imprinted polymers. We provide a comparative study of these systems alongside traditional synthetic approaches, highlighting not only the benefit of replacing VOCs from the perspective of environmental sustainability, but also the materials advantage with respect to mechanical and thermal properties of the polymers formed.

Abstract
Block copolymer nanoparticles prepared via polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) represent an emerging class of organic Pickering emulsifiers. Such nanoparticles are readily prepared by chain-extending a soluble homopolymer precursor using a carefully selected second monomer that forms an insoluble block in the chosen solvent. As the second block grows, it undergoes phase separation that drives in situ self-assembly to form sterically stabilized nanoparticles. Conducting such PISA syntheses in aqueous solution leads to hydrophilic nanoparticles that enable the formation of oil-in-water emulsions. Alternatively, hydrophobic nanoparticles can be prepared in non-polar media (e.g., n-alkanes), which enables water-in-oil emulsions to be produced. In this review, the specific advantages of using PISA to prepare such bespoke Pickering emulsifiers are highlighted, which include fine control over particle size, copolymer morphology, and surface wettability. This has enabled various fundamental scientific questions regarding Pickering emulsions to be addressed. Moreover, block copolymer nanoparticles can be used to prepare Pickering emulsions over various length scales, with mean droplet diameters ranging from millimeters to less than 200 nm.

Abstract
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocomposite (NC) macroporous films were prepared by a Pickering high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) templating technique and used as effective dielectrics for enhancing the performance of triboelectric-nanogenerators (TENGs). HIPEs were formulated using commercial PDMS and water as the continuous and dispersed phase, respectively. The formation and solidification of PDMS-based HIPEs were possible through stabilization with silver-nanoparticles (Ag-Nps) and surfactant (Span 20) mixtures. The resulting PDMS-NC-polyHIPE films presented an interconnected 3D macroporous structure with Ag-Nps on their porous surface. The addition of different amounts of Ag-Nps (0, 4, 20, 28, 36 wt%) in HIPE formulations allowed modification of the pore size, total pore volume and dielectric properties of the tribo-materials. Results revealed that both the porosity and dielectric properties of these materials play an important role in enhancing the output performance of TENGs. Thus, the best TENG based on the PDMS-NC-polyHIPE film was achieved with 20 wt% of Ag-Nps, with voltage, current and power values of 4.88 V, 0.433 μA and 2.1 μW, respectively, which gives over 3.28-fold power enhancement compared with the reference TENG (based on a PDMS film without porosity or Ag-Nps). Therefore, the preparation of tribo-materials through a Pickering HIPE templating technique provides a novel, effective and easy way for the improvement of the TENG's performance.

Abstract
AbstractHigh internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) are among complex biphasic fluids that expand on the traditional emulsion compositions, for instance, for the preparation of macroporous polymers by emulsion templating. The use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as the nonaqueous internal phase of HIPEs allows expanding the conditions at which polymerizations are typically carried out in aqueous HIPEs. Herein, the properties of polystyrene macroporous polymers were studied by polymerizing DES-in-oil HIPEs using choline chloride-based DESs as the internal phase. The effect of DESs’ composition – with amide, alcohol, and carboxylic acid as hydrogen bond donors – and the homogenization method used for the HIPE preparation – vortexing versus high-speed homogenizer – was studied. The stability and droplet size of HIPE precursor, as well as the macroporous structure and the mechanical properties of the synthesized polyHIPEs, are discussed.

Abstract
This review deals with two overlapping issues, namely polymer chemistry and deep eutectic solvents (DESs). With regard to polymers, specific aspects of synthetic polymers, polymerization processes producing such polymers, and natural cellulose-based nanopolymers are evaluated. As for DESs, their compliance with green chemistry requirements, their basic properties and involvement in polymer chemistry are discussed. In addition to reviewing the state-of-the-art for selected kinds of polymers, the paper reveals further possibilities in the employment of DESs in polymer chemistry. As an example, the significance of DES polarity and polymer polarity to control polymerization processes, modify polymer properties, and synthesize polymers with a specific structure and behavior, is emphasized.

Abstract
Mixtures of a nonionic surfactant and non-functionalized nanohydroxyapatite (NHA) enhanced the stability of oil-in-eutectic mixture high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). Upon ring opening polymerization of the eutectic mixture composed of l-lactide and ε-caprolactone, biodegradable polyHIPEs with specific cavity sizes and selective interfacial functionalization with NHA are produced.

Abstract
The stability of fluoro-high internal phase emulsion (fluoro-HIPE) systems and fluoro-polyHIPEs’ mechanical strength require further improvement to meet the requirements of future applications. In this study, we used polylactic acid (PLA) as a co-stabilizer to improve the stability of the fluoro-polyHIPE. The effects of concentration and molecular weight of PLA on the pores of the fluoro-polyHIPEs were investigated. The addition of PLA produced a porous material with narrower void size distributions, higher specific surface areas and enhanced mechanical properties compared to the fluoro-polyHIPE material without the additive. The resulting fluoro-polyHIPE showed smaller pore sizes (void diameters ranged from 1–3 μm) and an improved hydrophobic nature (contact angle can reach to 148.6°). The crush strength and Young's modulus values can reach 4.42 and 74.07 MPa, respectively, at a PLA addition of 25 wt% (oil phase composition), representing increases of 246% and 650% over fluoro-polyHIPE without PLA addition. The fluoro-poly-HIPE demonstrated excellent mechanical properties compared to many engineering foams, such as melamine, polystyrene, and even graphite foams. Improvements in the performance of porous fluoropolymer materials will be beneficial for many applications, such as chemical adsorption and separation, etc. Effect of PLA on the stability of fluorinated-HIPE and size tuning of the resultant fluoro-polyHIPE with enhanced mechanical properties.![]()

Abstract
Preparation of stable water-in-oil (W/O) high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) containing methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer as oil phase is a difficult task due to the significant solubility of MMA in water. Here, for the first time a fluorinated di-block copolymer (FDBC) poly (2-dimethylamino)ethylmethacrylate-b-poly (trifluoroethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA-b-PTFEMA) is proposed to stabilize HIPEs of MMA without the use of any co-stabilizer or thickening agent. Fluorinated segments in FDBC anchored well at oil/water interface of HIPE, offering high hydrophobicity to the partially hydrophilic MMA monomer and in turn stabilization to MMA-HIPE. By using fluorinated di-block copolymer as stabilizer, highly stable HIPEs can be obtained. In addition, highly interconnected porous monoliths were obtained after free radical polymerization, which are highly desirable materials in various practical applications including tissue engineering scaffolds, separation science, bio-engineering and so on. The as-prepared MMA-HIPEs possess high thermal stability without phase separation. The textural characteristics of as-prepared composites, such as pore size and distribution, can be easily controlled by simply varying the amount of FDBC and/or dispersed phase fraction. Moreover, the influence of di-block concentration on water uptake (WU) capability of the prepared porous monoliths is explored.

Abstract
A facile preparation for a series of porous poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate–divinylbenzene) P(TFEMA–DVB) foams is discussed in this paper. The foams have adjustable morphology utilizing a suitable commercial surfactant, Hypermer B246, as stabilizer, and were compared with traditional organic surfactants or macromolecular block-polymers. Combining the porous properties and advantages of fluorine atoms, this type of fluoropolymer exhibited superb chemical stability and hydrophobicity performances with high porosity. These porous fluoro-monoliths preserved their regular porous structure without any degradation after immersion into strong acidic or basic solution for three days, hence demonstrating an excellent potential to deal with environmental pollution caused by oil spillages in severe environments. The tunable morphology (open and closed pores) and pore sizes were achieved by investigating various parameters like surfactant concentration, amount of external crosslinker, and aqueous phase volume. Droplet sizes of HIPEs were characterized using an optical microscope under different experimental conditions. The influence of pore structure and surface properties of polyHIPE on water contact angle and oil adsorption capacity was also explored. The results indicated that the porous material has an excellent oleophilicity and hydrophobicity, with water contact angles (WCA) up to 146.4°. Additionally, the results presented a noticeable adsorption with a very fast rate towards organic oils from either a water surface or bottom with adsorption saturation achieved in about 120 s. The prepared polyHIPEs showed a good recycling ability; even after 10 adsorption–centrifugation experiments, the adsorption capacity was still more than 85%. A facile preparation for a series of porous poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate–divinylbenzene) P(TFEMA–DVB) foams is discussed in this paper.![]()

Abstract
This data article includes emulsion stability comparison of cationic fluorosurfactant (CFS) against conventional surfactants. Span 80, Hypermer, Tween 80 and CTAB were used as conventional emulsifiers and only after 30 minutes bilayer phase separation observed in emulsions prepared by Tween 80 while CTAB failed to give fluoroemulsion, as compared to the CFS stabilized fluoro-HIPE which demonstrated superb stabilization of more than 72 h without phase separation. Thermal stability of Poly(hexafluorobutyl acrylate)-Divinyl benzene (PHFBA-DVB) was compared with porous polymer prepared by the same concentration of CFS 9 wt% by using trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFEMA) as monomer phase. Results of PFP prepared with HFBA showed remarkable stability performance at more than 340.69 °C while porous polymer synthesized by TFEMA started to decompose even at 237.36 °C. The main findings based on the data presented here are reported in the paper "A cationicfluorosurfactant for fabrication of high-performance fluoropolymer foams with controllable morphology" (Azhar et al., 2017) [1].

Abstract
We report an alternative green strategy based on deep-eutectic solvents (DES) to deliver multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for a bottom-up approach that allows for the selective interfacial functionalization of nonaqueous poly(high internal phase emulsions), poly(HIPEs). The formation and polymerization of methacrylic and styrenic HIPEs were possible through stabilization with nitrogen doped carbon nanotube (CNX) and surfactant mixtures using a urea-choline chloride DES as a delivering phase. Subtle changes in CNX concentration (less than 0.2 wt % to the internal phase) produced important changes in the macroporous monolith functionalization, which in turn led to increased monolith hydrophobicity and pore openness. These materials displayed great oleophilicity with water contact angles as high as 140° making them apt for biodiesel, diesel, and gasoline fuel sorption applications. Overall, styrene divinylbenzene (StDvB) based poly(HIPEs) showed hydrophobicity and fuel sorption capacities as high as 4.8 (g/g). Pore hierarchy, namely pore openness, regulated sorption capacity, and sorption times where greater openness resulted in faster sorption and increased sorption capacity. Monoliths were subject to 20 sorption-desorption cycles demonstrating recyclability and stable sorption capacity. Finally, CNX/surfactant hybrids made it possible to reduce surfactant requirements for successful HIPE formation and stabilization during polymerization. All poly(HIPEs) retained acceptable conversion as a function of CNX loading nearing 90% or better with thermal stability as high as 283 °C.

Abstract
We have demonstrated that l-lactide (LLA) forms a eutectic mixture with ε-caprolactone (CL) in a 30:70 mol ratio with a melting point of -19 °C. Taking advantage of the liquid nature and polarity at the LLA-CL eutectic mixture, we have formulated oil-in-eutectic-mixture high-internal-phase emulsions (HIPEs) by stepwise addition of the oil phase (tetradecane) into the continuous phase (mixture of surfactant and LLA-CL eutectic mixture) at room temperature and under stirring. The oil-in-LLA-CL-eutectic-mixture HIPEs were polymerized in the presence of both the organocatalysts 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and methanesulfonic acid (MSA) and the initiator benzyl alcohol (BnOH) at 37 °C and without the addition of any extra reagent or solvent in one single pot. The catalytic selectivities of DBU and MSA for the ring-opening polymerizations of LLA and CL, respectively, allowed the synthesis of macroporous poly(l-lactide)/poly(ε-caprolactone) blend materials. The resulting materials exhibited a macroporous morphology that resembled that of the HIPE internal-phase droplets used as templates. These materials proved effective as oil absorbents for oil/water separation with not only a noticeable performance, similar to that of conventional sorbents in terms of both selectivity and recyclability, but also unprecedented safe disposability, certainly of interest for applications in the cleanup of industrial oily wastewaters and oil spills, thanks to the biodegradable features of both poly(ε-caprolactone) and poly(l-lactide).
