Deep-eutectic solvents as a support in the nonaqueous synthesis of macroporous poly(HIPEs)

This study demonstrates the formation and polymerization of high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) with (meth) acrylic monomers as a continuous phase and urea-choline chloride deep-eutectic solvent as a favorable nonaqueous internal phase. After recovery of DES, the resultant poly(HIPEs) showed interconnected macroporosity which can be tuned by varying the experimental conditions.
