ABSTRACT

Core-shell poly mer particles have received a great deal of industrial and academic interest in the last decades. These multicomponent particles with controlled morphology create a versatile class of materials in which the final properties depend not only on the composition of each poly mer phase but also on the morphology of these particles. This characteristic opens the
