Abstract

<p>Polymer particles are widely used in various fields because of their high versatility and high convenience. Recently, porous polymer particles, which have pores on the surface and inside of the particles, have become very attractive due to their unprecedented character. However, preparation of porous polymer particles is complicated, so improvement of the process is receiving significant attention. This review describes the preparation of spherical polymer particles by a simple and low-energy method without any special equipment. In particular, the combination of a phase inversion from a W/O to O/W emulsion and solidification of emulsion droplets containing polymer caused by removing a water-soluble organic solvent is described. In addition, an example of application of porous polymer particles utilized in ink is shown. Finally, a modified phase-inversion method using poor solvent is applied as a simple way to prepare porous polymer particles, including a description of the phase separation in the spherical oil droplets of O/W emulsion and the particle morphology.</p>
