DOI: 10.1021/acsami.9b12479
Abstract: A simple process is developed for one step preparation of dual-compartmental alginate microcapsules with controlled size and structure from microfluidic-generated water-in-water-in-oil (W/W/O) emulsion droplet. Unlike other methods that rely on transient W/W/O emulsion droplet, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym14061165
Abstract: Citral is a typical UV-irritation and acid-sensitive active and here we develop a mild method for the encapsulation of citral in calcium alginate microcapsules, in which UV irritation or acetic acid is avoided. Monodispersed oil-in-water-in-oil… read more here.
