Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Colloid and Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Microgel-colloidosomes are advanced materials with tunable properties.
  • Developing efficient methods for creating robust microgel-colloidosomes is crucial for their application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prepare a novel family of pH-responsive microgel-colloidosomes.
  • To establish a simple and versatile method for their fabrication.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized microgel particles as building blocks and a macro-crosslinker.
  • Employed covalent inter-linking of vinyl-functionalised microgel particles adsorbed to oil droplets.
  • Formed shells of doubly crosslinked microgels (DX MGs).

Main Results:

  • Successfully prepared pH-responsive microgel-colloidosomes.
  • Demonstrated the versatility of the method using two distinct microgel types.
  • Created shells of doubly crosslinked microgels (DX MGs).

Conclusions:

  • The developed method is simple, versatile, and effective for creating microgel-colloidosomes.
  • The resulting DX MGs exhibit pH-responsive properties.
  • This approach provides a new route for fabricating functional microgel-based assemblies.
