Abstract:

Polymer hollow particles have received much attention in the last two decades due to their unique structure and fascinating properties. They exhibit low density, large surface area, and high loading capacity properties, showing great promise in applications ranging from catalysts, drug delivery carriers, to energy storage. In this review, we summarize the synthesis strategies of polymer hollow particles, including templating synthesis, emulsion polymerization, self-assembly, microfluidics, and some other strategies. The synthesis principle, typical process, advantages, and disadvantages of these strategies have been elaborately illustrated and discussed. We also point out some challenges of existing strategies and some shortcomings of polymer hollow particles and provide an outlook on the future developments of the preparation and application of polymer hollow particles. We expect more strategies will be developed for the synthesis of polymer hollow particles with enhanced performance and multiple functions.

Key words: Polymer particle, Hollow structure, Template, Emulsion polymerization, Self-assembly
