Abstract
/g. The approach also permits facile loading of water-soluble substances such as salts, dyes, or proteins. The loaded molecules demonstrated different permeability against the shell, in which 98% of the encapsulated salts could be released in 1 h while only 18% of dye molecules and almost none of the fluorescent proteins diffused out from the microcapsules. Such an assembling approach may greatly extend the applications of 2D polymers and their microcapsules.
