One-pot microfluidic fabrication of graphene oxide-patched hollow hydrogel microcapsules with remarkable shell impermeability.

چکیده
Uniform hollow hydrogel microcapsules, composed of a graphene oxide platelet-patched shell, are fabricated in one step in a capillary-based microfluidic device. We demonstrate that patching a small amount of graphene oxide at the interfaces remarkably prevents the leakage of small molecules through the shell.

Core–shell microcapsules capable of regulating the release profile of encapsulated molecules are developed. These microcapsules uniquely embed miniature actuators in their liquid core. The internal actuators are made of stimuli-responsive smart hydrogel beads. The embedded hydrogel beads swell in response to external electric fields, regulating the internal pressure of the liquid core and thus ...

متن کاملMicrofluidic Fabrication of Colloidal Nanomaterials-Encapsulated Microcapsules for Biomolecular Sensing.
Implantable sensors that detect biomarkers in vivo are critical for early disease diagnostics. Although many colloidal nanomaterials have been developed into optical sensors to detect biomolecules in vitro, their application in vivo as implantable sensors is hindered by potential migration or clearance from the implantation site. One potential solution is incorporating colloidal nanosensors in ...
