Breathable Microgel Colloidosome: Gas-Switchable Microcapsules with O2 and CO2 Tunable Shell Permeability for Hierarchical Size-Selective Control Release

Microcapsules enabling precise delivery and controlled release are highly desirable. However, it is still challenging to control the release profile by regulating the microcapsule shell permeability. In this work, gas-switchable microgel colloidosome (MGC) with oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) dual gas-tunable shell permeability has been developed and tested for control release of water-soluble cargo molecules, based on the size exclusion …
