In this review, the preparation method of polymer microspheres (MCs) by phase-inversion is addressed and discussed in detail. An interesting advantage of MCs prepared by the PI method is tailor-made morphology that is a critical factor in separation/adsorption/transport systems. This is relevant sin...
