Generation of Ultra-Thin-Shell Microcapsules Using Osmolarity-Controlled Swelling Method

Microcapsules are attractive core-shell configurations for studies of controlled release, biomolecular sensing, artificial microbial environments, and spherical film buckling. However, the production of microcapsules with ultra-thin shells remains a challenge. Here we develop a simple and practical...
