• superior mechanical performance. Nanoindentation testing with AFM colloidal probe is a powerful technique as it combines high lateral and force resolution with well-defined contact geometry. It has successfully been applied to a range of systems including capsules [49][50][51][52], full particles [53][54

• (MPMS). For measurements, dried samples were introduced into gelatin capsules and magnetization loop measurements at 2 K and 293 K were performed. Simulation studies Molecular Simulation: as described in [34] a series of FeIII(OH)x(OH2)4−x and FeII(OH)y(OH2)6−y clusters were pre-modeled from ab-initio

• ” geometries. In a very recent work, Taheri et al. [63] have presented the formation of potato starch capsules decorated with silver nanoparticles, which could have applications as drug carriers or antibacterial coatings. The capsules are prepared in an inverse (water-in-oil) miniemulsion and the surfactant

• into plastic capsules. Measurements were performed with the VSM setup of Quantum Design PPMS in external fields of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, and 5 T. To estimate the diamagnetic contribution from the sample holder, an empty capsule was measured under the same conditions. Results and Discussion Synthesis, sample

• water, all IL micro-droplets on the patterned area disappeared instantaneously, indicating that the IL micro-droplets were dissolved in water. Silane-coated IL capsules Silane molecules react with water to form silanols, which subsequently cross-link with each other using the Si–O–Si covalent bonds and

• from the AFM feedback loop. Therefore, from this experiment we conclude that the coated silane layer only formed at the surface of the IL drop. Reaction of the OTS-coated IL capsules Pinholes widely exist in the silane film that was prepared without stabilization [17]. When the “unstablized” OTS film

• was added in H2O2 solution, the H2O2 decomposed and oxygen bubbles were generated in the solution as the decomposition product. In our experimental set-up, the FeCl3 was dissolved in IL solution, which was encapsulated by the OTS coating and existed as the immobilized capsules arrays on the designated
