| Abstract | We present a simple one-pot synthetic approach for the preparation of monodisperse thermo-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microcapsules in a microfluidic system. Based on the mechanism of shear force-driven break-off, aqueous droplets of monomer solution are continuously generated in an immiscible continuous phase containing photoinitiators. Under UV irradiation, activated initiators are diffused into the interface between the continuous phase and the aqueous droplets, which trigger polymerization of NIPAM monomers. The PNIPAM microcapsules produced are hollow microcapsules with a thin shell membrane, high monodispersity, and fast response to environmental temperature. In addition, the size of microcapsules produced can be manipulated by the flow rate of the continuous phase or aqueous phase and different concentrations of surfactant to control interfacial tension between continuous phase and aqueous phase. Furthermore, the versatility of this approach enables the preparation of monodisperse microcapsules having the capability to encapsulate various materials such as proteins and nanoparticles under mild conditions. The in situ microfluidic synthetic method provides a novel approach for the preparation of monodisperse hollow microcapsules via a one-pot route. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
