Liquid marbles have been shown to be a novel micro-reactor to synthesize polyperoxides by the radical alternating copolymerization of the 1,3-diene monomer with oxygen in a good yield. Oxygen gas is effectively absorbed as a comonomer by the large and permeable gas-liquid interface of the liquid marbles. Liquid marbles are a novel micro-reactor to efficiently synthesize polyperoxides by the radical alternating copolymerization of the 1,3-diene with oxygen.
