Capsules volume

Empty capsules or capsules containing rate islets, in a packed capsule volume of 0.2-0.5 ml, were sterilely transplanted into the peritoneal cavity of metofane-anesthetized mice. The mice were allowed to recover and maintained for 1-3 months. At certain times following transplantation, mice were sacrificed and capsules were retrieved through a peritoneal lavage. 

The total volume of solution within the capsule is V = Vwn w + V+ni+ + V-tii- + Vvv I,. When the pressure within the capsule varies, the surrounding membrane deforms by an amount that depends upon its mechanical properties. If the change in capsule volume is small, we may assume a linear relation... 

Pressure applied to the external solution would also increase the pressure inside the capsule, and in the absence of fluid compressibility there would be no change in the capsule volume. Without access to the inside of the capsule we cannot apply a pressure difference to investigate Darcy flow through the membrane. One possiblity, yet to be tested experimentally, is to add to the external solution an uncharged polymer which cannot pass through the membrane. The external chemical potential of water is thereby reduced [9], and the resulting flow out of the capsule can be shown to depend upon the permeability k of the membrane. 

The proposed mathematical model for encapsulated adsorbents can describe various diffusion characteristics in addition to the intrinsic binding characteristics of the encapsulated adsorbents. The performance of encapsulated adsorbent in an in situ product separation process can be evaluated using the proposed model for the adsorption rate of a target product, berberine. The performance of the encapsulated adsorbents is influenced by design parameters such as the adsorbent content in the capsule (Ns), the capsule size ( R ), the number of capsules (n), the membrane thickness ( Rm), and the ratio of the single capsule volume to the total capsule volume (Nc).

Furthermore, porous CPs (e.g., polypyrrole, polyanUine) films have been used as host matrices for polyelectrolyte capsules developed from composite material, which can combine electric conductivity of the polymer with controlled permeability of polyelectrolyte shell to form controllable micro- and nanocontainers. A recent example was reported by D.G. Schchukin and his co-workers [21]. They introduced a novel application of polyelectrolyte microcapsules as microcontainers with a electrochemically reversible flux of redox-active materials into and out of the capsule volume. Incorporation of the capsules inside a polypyrrole (PPy) film resulted in a new composite electrode. This electrode combined the electrocatalytic and conducting properties of the PPy with the storage and release properties of the capsules, and if loaded with electrochemical fuels, this film possessed electrochemically controlled switching between open and closed states of the capsule shell. This approach could also be of practical interest for chemically rechargeable batteries or fuel cells operating on an absolutely new concept. However, in this case, PPy was just utilized as support for the polyelectrolyte microcapsules. 

There are two approaches to the formation of microcapsules containing inorganic nanoparticles both in the capsule volume and shells.

Capsulation of positively or negatively charged polyelectrolytes with the certain concentration in the capsule interior gives an opportunity to control physical and chemical properties of the microcapsule inner volume. The presence of various polycations inside the capsule causes pH value displacement in capsule volume and its stabilization near the K value of the chosen polyelectrolyte. For example, positively charged poly(allylamine hydrochloride) PAH with a hydroxyl group as a counterion increases pH inside the polyelectrolyte capsules up to 9 from that outside the capsules. 

On the other hand, loading the capsule volume with negatively charged poly(styrene sulfonate) molecules decreases pH inside the capsules. The establishment of a pH gradient across a capsule shell can be utilized to perform physico-chemical processes, such as pH-sensitive precipitation of inorganic nanoparticles in the capsule interior. This mechanism can also be used to synthesize iron oxide or silver nanoparticles in inner volume of capsules.
