Abstract

A highly expandable and tough microcapsule was prepared by water-in-oil emulsion polymerization. The diameter of the microcapsule could be expanded to about 75 times larger than the original size without breakage. Furthermore, this capsule was pH stimuli-responsive, and might be used in materials or biotechnology applications.
