- Abstract
This study reports on the synthesis of surface‐protected acid and base microparticles via surfactant‐free emulsion polymerization. The protective layer allows to form particle mixtures with both colloidal catalysts that show excellent performance in a well‐established model cascade reaction involving an acid‐catalyzed deacetalization and a subsequent base‐catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation. Compared to nanoreactors that contain both catalysts, the colloidal mixture shows comparable reaction kinetics despite the local separation of both catalysts onto separate particles. Since the synthesis of individual microparticles requires less steps, is scalable, and more versatile in terms of catalyst variation, colloidal mixtures are certainly an alternative to multifunctional nanoreactors, making them attractive for practical applications.
