the researches on particulate emulsifiers expanded from emulsion filed to nano material preparation. The kind of particulate emulsifiers also developed from inorganic particles to inorganic/organic composites
polymeric particulate emulsifiers
and natural macromolecule particulate emulsifiers; therefore the fast developments of them are received more attentions on the industry and academic in recent years. This paper reviewed recent progress on the macromolecular particulate emulsifiers. The basic concepts and the mechanism of the emulsification of Pickering emulsions were introduced
and the studies on the synthetic methods
the environmental responses and the applications of the macromolecular particulate emulsifiers were discussed. In addition
the new trends in this field were described and the future of macromolecular particulate emulsifiers was prospected.
