      Highlights:

      • 1
        Amphiphilicity was achieved by sulphonation of polystyrene (PS) microspheres.
      • 2
        Porous structure was formed by a non-polymeric pore-formation process.
      • 3
        With sulfonic group, the polymer particles were easy to composite with inorganic particles.
      • 4
        The porous structure and excellent amphiphilicity contributed to expanded applications.
