"Yolk-shell" structured microcapsules with organic-inorganic hybrid shell
We synthesized polymer-based microcapsules using a microemulsion method. Titanium oxide nanoparticles are incorporated in the polymer precursor to give rise to a hybrid shell structure. In this SEM image, a smaller microcapsule is sitting inside a cracked microcapsule with larger size, which yields an interesting "yolk-shell" architecture.
