METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HIGH INTERNAL PHASE EMULSION FOAMS USING ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

摘要

A method of producing a HIPE foam using Ultraviolet (UV) light to polymerize a High Internal Phase Emulsion (HIPE) having two or more layers. The method uses UV light to polymerize HIPEs having two or more layers wherein each of the layers comprises a continuous oil phase containing monomers, photoinitiator, and an aqueous phase.
