Emulsification and Encapsulation by Soft Matter Techniques [Co-sponsored with POLY]

The soft matter community is working actively on the generation of new types of colloids, i.e. nanoparticles of interesting actives (drugs, tracers, biomolecules of any sorts) or nanocapsules integrating these in their core. Different “soft” techniques exist nowadays to perform so, including spontaneous emulsification (of any kind) or emulsion polymerization, to prepare e.g. polymersomes or nanostructured particles, respectively. The release of the active, either through natural or targeted degradation, or by an external trigger, is also a field of constant discovery and interest. This session aims at gathering under the same scope biologist, pharmacologists, chemists and physicists interested in the protection and release of any types of actives as well as the formation of structure colloids. We will cover the preparation, the characterization and application of these small objects and structured colloids in a range of applications including agro, cosmetic, food or pharmaceutical applications. To that end, topics to be covered in the session include, but are not limited to:
– Ouzo effect and Flash Nanoprecipitation
– Phase inversion techniques
– Block copolymers emulsification
– Nanoparticle and nanocapsule synthesis and characterization
– Crystallized, patchy and Janus nanoparticles…
– Emulsion polymerization: miniemulsion, PISA…
– Release and drug delivery in vitro and in vivo

The symposium will address the rapidly expanding research area in the field of functionalized polyolefins, highlighting new concepts and catalysts in the effort to form random and block copolymers containing polar monomers in a facile manner. Polar monomer incorporation in polyolefins is highly desired to broaden their scope of properties and applications which supports recent efforts in waste plastic recycling, energy storage, and smart material design. The incorporation of these polar monomers is challenged due to their contrary reactivity as compared to olefin monomers and has initiated creative approaches and pathways for overcoming the disparate polymerization reactions. The subject of this symposium will be to connect the most active and innovative researchers in this area to discuss recent forthcomings.

Established 50 years ago, ExxonMobil’s corporate research laboratories have taken a fundamental approach towards meeting longer term challenges for the energy and polymer industries. In addition to significant internal work in areas such as polymerization, blend thermodynamics, molecular rheology, and functional polymers, ExxonMobil’s Corporate Strategic Research Laboratory (CSR) and its predecessor organizations have maintained broad and mutually beneficial collaborations with the external research community in the polymer synthesis, theory, and structure-property fields. As the polymer community mobilizes to meet the challenges of the next 50 years, this symposium will highlight contributions to polymer science and chemistry from CSR and its external collaborators.
