Overview

Experimental study demonstrates surfactant-free synthesis of hybrid nanocapsules in double miniemulsions, highlighting a scalable route for complex nanostructures.

Key Points

To develop a surfactant-free method for preparing stable nanoscale water-in-oil-in-water double emulsions and converting them into complex hybrid nanostructures.
Introduced a silica precursor polymer, hyperbranched polyethoxysiloxane, into the oil phase of a water-in-oil-in-water system without added surfactants.
Converted the precursor to silica while polymerizing the oil phase under varying reaction conditions.
Formed robust, multi-layered water@SiO2@polymer@SiO2 nanocapsules capable of microencapsulation without surfactant additives.
Synthesized diverse particle morphologies, such as nanorattles and Janus-like nanomushrooms, by altering the preparation parameters.
