We report on the successful use of particle-stabilized Medium Internal Phase Emulsion (MIPE) templates for the synthesis of porous polymer foams. In this case, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used to stabilize the minority phase as the continuous phase, through adsorption at the interface. The addition of the CNTs not only provides processing advantages (no need for traditional non-ionic molecular surfactants) but also enhances the mechanical and electrical properties of the final polyFoams. This approach allows the manufacture of both closed- and open-celled porous polymer foams in a one-pot process with porosities up to 66%.
我们报道了成功使用颗粒稳定的中相乳液（MIPE）模板来合成多孔聚合物泡沫。在这种情况下，碳纳米管（CNT）通过在界面处吸附，被用于稳定作为连续相的少数相。碳纳米管的加入不仅提供了加工优势（无需传统的非离子分子表面活性剂），还增强了最终聚合物泡沫的机械和电学性能。这种方法能够在一锅法中制造闭孔和开孔的多孔聚合物泡沫，孔隙率高达66%。
