Temperature-responsive semipermeable capsules composed of colloidal microgel spheres

We present semipermeable, hollow capsules (colloidosomes) that expand and contract upon heating and cooling. The capsules are composed of micrometer-sized poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid microgel particles, which exhibit a reversible size transition near 34 degrees C. The microgel partic...
