Multicompartment microcapsules with a unique configurationare presented by Shin-Hyun Kim, and Seung-Man Yang, and co-workers on page 1608. Photocurable densely confined core droplets within an oily shell droplet rearrange into a unique configuration that minimizes the interfacial energy. Photopolymerization of the shell phase results in microcapules that are capable of isolating active materials and releasing them in a controlled manner using well-defined nanohole arrays or photothermal nanoscopic silver architectures on thin membranes.
