摘要:
Microcapsules comprising an agglomeration of primary microcapsules, each individual primary microcapsule having a primary shell and the agglomeration being encapsulated by an outer shell, may be prepared by providing an aqueous mixture of a loading substance and a shell material, adjusting pH, temperature, concentration and/or mixing speed to form primary shells of shell material around the loading substance and cooling the aqueous mixture until the primary shells agglomerate and an outer shell of shell material forms around the agglomeration. Such microcapsules are useful for storing a substance and for delivering the substance to a desired environment.
摘要:
The invention relates to crystallised, catanionic membranes in organised solid bilayer form, comprising laterally-alternating anionic surfactants (TA) with H+ counter ions and cationic surfactants (TC) with OH- counter ions which are co-crystallised with a mole fraction QTA/(QTA + QTC) greater than 0.5. According to the invention, the membrane forms a surface which is flat, at least locally, and the bilayer is stabilised by at least one polymer which is neutral and hydrophobic or which has an opposite overall electric charge to the effective charge of the catanionic membrane, said polymer being absorbed on the surface. The invention also relates to a method of preparing the membranes, the uses thereof, for example, as a medicament for the vectorisation of active species or for the retention of volatile molecules.

A new and improved method of micro-encapsulation by complex coacervation is provided which comprises the use of whey proteins together with a weak polyelectrolyte substituting for gelatin to allow better use of the encapsulated material, preferably in conjunction with gum Arabic.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for applying a shell to liquid template particles, comprising the following steps: (a) preparation of an emulsion of liquid template particles in a continuous liquid or gel phase, whereby at least one amphiphilic polyelectrolyte or polyelectrolyte complex, or a copolymer of charged hydrophilic monomers and oil soluble monomers is dissolved in the fluid template particles and/or the continuous phase and a film is formed at the phase boundary between the liquid template particle and the continuous phase and (b) application of a shell to the film formed at the phase boundary.
摘要:
The invention is directed to (i) the encapsulation of uncharged organic substances in polymeric capsules by using a multi-step strategy that involves charging the surface of the microcrystals with an amphiphilic substance, followed by consecutively depositing polyelectrolytes of opposite charge to assemble a multilayered shell of polymeric material around the microcrystal template, and (ii) the formation of polymer multilayer cages derived from the coated crystals by facile removal of the crystalline template.

摘要:
A lock unimolecular micelle includes at least one engineered acceptor specifically binding a ligand (or specifically a 'key' unimolecular micelle) thereto. A key unimolecular micelle comprises a core molecule and a plurality of branches extending therefrom, at least one of the branches including a shank portion extending therefrom having a terminal moiety at an end thereof for binding to a complimentary acceptor of a lock unimolecular micelle. Together, the lock and key micelles form a unit, either irreversibly or reversibly bound wherein the lock micelles is a soluble receptor engineered to specifically bind to the specifically engineered key micelle.
