Polymerization mechanism of natural lacquer sap with special phase structure

Lacquer sap is a water-in-oil natural emulsion with high viscosity. In nature, it exudes from the phloem of lacquer tree to repair its wounds in the presence of O 2 . So far, it is unclear how rapid and smooth polymerization of urushiol is achieved in such a viscous sap. Here, we find that there is...
