Stabilizing emulsion droplets with amphiphilic emulsifiers are the current prevailing method, but the extensive use of such amphiphilic substances has caused widespread concerns. In this Perspective, three traditional methods for the stabilization of emulsion droplets according to the type of emulsifiers used are outlined, and the emphasis is placed on the mechanism of steric hindrance for emulsion stabilization. Then, we provide a concise introduction and discussion of the fast interfacial polymerization method as a new strategy for preparing stable emulsifier-free emulsion droplets with a polymer film, including its research background, current progress, and possible development directions. It is anticipated that this paper will promote the development of emulsifier-free emulsion production via fast interfacial polymerization and other related methods.
