Advances in unusual interfacial polymerization techniques

Interfacial polymerization is an important method for producing organic and inorganic materials with expected micro-/nanoscale structure and properties. This work summarized and reviewed the interfacial polymerization method from the initial cases to recent reported cases by defining reported different cases related methods into the conventional and unconventional catalogues. In this review, the interfacial polymerization process has been firstly classified from different assistances, e.g. from physical, chemical, physic-chemical and others. The recently reported non-classical interfacial polymerization process has been also greatly focused on.
