Inside Front Cover: Pickering multiphase materials using plant-based cellulosic micro/nanoparticles

Abstract

The exceptional stability exhibited by solid particle-stabilized Pickering multiphase systems has garnered significant attention in recent times. Amongst a range of solid stabilizers, cellulosic micro/nanoparticles sourced from agriculture and forestry have emerged as promising contenders for achieving effective Pickering stabilization owing to their distinctive morphological features and adjustable surface properties. This paper summarizes the latest advancements in formulating and stabilizing Pickering multiphase systems utilizing cellulosic colloidal particles, encompassing an analysis of key factors influencing interfacial assembly along with suitable preparation techniques for generating stable Pickering emulsions. Furthermore, potential applications of these corresponding multifunctional materials are outlined herein.
