The basic principle of the IP process is dissolving two different kinds of active monomers in two mutually insoluble solvents to generate different phases (the aqueous phase and the organic phase) and when the two phases touch each other, a layer of polymeric thin film will be formed at the two-phase interface [51, 52]. The common IP …
