This review is devoted to a novel type of polymer micro-and nanocapsules. The shell of the
capsule is fabricated by alternate adsorption of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (PEs) …

This work reports about the construction and properties of a new type of designer capsules
with dimensions from some 10nm to μm and with nm dimensions of the wall. They are …

The progress in synthetic polymer chemistry has allowed the precise design of hybrid and
multifunctional colloidal particles, which differ in type, size and shape, thus enhancing their …

Hollow polyelectrolyte microcapsules made of poly (allylamine hydrochloride) and sodium
poly (styrene sulfonate), templated on various cores, manganese and calcium carbonate …

In recent years, an increasing number of microcapsule systems have been realized and
have found applications in various fields of research and technology. Amongst others …

The growing need for drug-delivery systems that release their contents in a desired fashion
has intensified research for “smart carriers” with intelligent properties.[1–3] Compared to …

To develop a new polypeptide delivery system, insulin nano-aggregates with sizes of 100–
230nm were prepared by the salting out method with NaCl and encapsulated via the layer …

The stability of hollow microcapsules against environmental alterations such as pH, osmotic
pressure, and temperature is a critical issue for practical applications. It is demonstrated …

Neutral temperature responsive polymers, such as poly (N-vinylcaprolactam)(PVCL) and
