Smart microparticles in which encapsulated materials can be effectively stored and released upon exposure to various stimuli such as pH, temperature, and mechanical stress has attracted significant interest in various applications including food, homecare, personal-care, and cosmetics. However, conventional methods typically results in microparticles with high polydispersity, poor reproducibility, and low encapsulation efficiency. In this work, we utilize droplet microfluidics to design thermo-responsive microcapsules and microsurfactants that either release the inner cargo or destabilize the water-oil interface at elevated temperatures. We also generate hydrogel microcapsules and polymersomes for osmotic-pressure induced delivery of actives. |
