Abstract

On the basis of the knowledge of thermo-responsive gating membranes, introduced in Chapter 2, the design, fabrication and performance of smart microcapsules with thermo-responsive gating membranes for controlled release are described in this chapter. Firstly, the design of smart microcapsules with thermo-responsive gating membranes is introduced. Next, the fabrication, microstructure control and controlled-release performance of thermo-responsive microcapsules with a porous membrane and PNIPAM gates are described systematically. Then, the fabrication and microstructure control of small-sized monodispersed thermo-responsive microcapsules are introduced.
