Abstract:
We report the development of a novel technique for the encapsulation of molecular and condensed organic and inorganic substrates within hollow calcium carbonate microspheres; the process utilises precipitation at the oil-water interface of a pseudovesicular water-in-oil-in-water emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) system in order to create an inorganic shell around the pre-dispersed media.
