In this Review, we aim to provide an updated summary of the research related to hollow
micro-and nanostructures, covering both their synthesis and their applications. After a brief …

Templating is one of the most important techniques for the controlled synthesis of
nanostructured materials. This powerful tool uses a pre-existing guide with desired …

Stimuli-responsive capsules are of interest in drug delivery, fragrance release, food
preservation, and self-healing materials. Many methods are used to trigger the release of …

It has been generally expected that the most applicable drug delivery system (DDS) should
be biodegradable, biocompatible and with incidental adverse effects. Among many micellar …

Microencapsulation is an imperative technology in pharmacy, food industry and medicine.
However, the current level of the development requires not only the fabrication of the …

Magnetic nanocapsules were synthesized for controlled drug release, magnetically assisted
delivery, and MRI imaging. These magnetic nanocapsules, consisting of a stable iron …

Pickering emulsions stabilized by poly (sodium styrenesulfonate)(PSS) surface-modified
LUDOX CL particles were used as templates for the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of …

Currently, various types of emulsions can be applied to a wide range of systems. Emulsions
are thermodynamically unstable systems, and their crystallization can be affected by a …

Novel multilayer polyelectrolyte hollow microspheres with pH-sensitive fluorescence and
hepatocyte-targeting functions were successfully fabricated via a layer-by-layer (LbL) …

pH/ionic strength/temperature multiresponsive hollow microspheres were successfully
prepared by the Ce (IV) initiated grafting polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm) …
