Hybrid high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) organogels with oil separation properties

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Nov 18;50(89):13821-4. doi: 10.1039/c4cc06674j.

Abstract

Hybrid HIPE organogels were prepared from pre-formed hybrid organogels, which were formed from a triblock ionomer and Fe3O4 nanoparticles via charge-driven assembly. Magnetic materials can be obtained from these hybrid HIPE organogels simply by removal of solvents, and these materials have been confirmed to be excellent candidates for absorption of oil from water.
