Abstract: A catalytic system comprising a REDOX catalyst and a porous polymeric matrix wherein the porous polymeric matrix has pores with a size from 1 to 1000 nm and it is covalently functionalized with functional groups R1 or, alternatively, with functional groups R?1 and R2. The REDOX catalyst comprises an isoalloxazine moiety which has one or more functional groups R3; R1 and R2 are capable of forming non-covalent reversible interactions with R3; R1 and R2 are in a molar concentration excess with respect to the molar concentration of the REDOX catalyst; and R1 and R?1 are electron donor or electron acceptor groups having a REDOX potential between +2.70 to ?2.5 V as determined by cyclic voltammetry using an Ag/AgCl electrode as reference.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a methacrylate or acrylate modified polysaccharide; or a single-chain polysaccharide methacrylate or acrylate-based nanoparticle, having a surface tension measured by Du Noüy Ring method equal to or lower than 63 mN/m, as oil-in-water emulsion stabilizer; and an oil-in-water emulsion stabilizer composition, and an oil-in-water emulsion containing them. It also relates to processes for their preparation, and their uses.
