Particle-stabilized gel-core microcapsules: Synthesis and properties

- Processing of particle-stabilized gel-core microcapsules of 3-300 μm diameter.
- Capsules are mechanically stable and can be harvested as a dry powder.
- Particle's microstructure is discussed as a function of gel-former concentration.
- The swelling behavior of the capsules is described.
- We discuss the release of dye as a function of particle size and capsule properties.
