Smart encapsulation

Two main fields of application have been explored fine chemistry/ pharmacy (Hessel et al. 2004a) and fuel processing (Hessel et al. 2005d). A few investigations target manufacture of bulk chemicals or intermediates. In addition, the production of smart and functional materials is the focus, such as pigments (Wille et al. 2004), encapsulated delivery...

Borgschulte et al. [84] concluded from photoemission and scanning tunneling microscopy studies (STM/STS) that this critical cap layer thickness is related to inactivation of Pd by encapsulation of the Pd islands by yttrium oxide or hydroxide strong metal-support interaction (SMS I effect). The substitution of Pd by cheaper, preferably transparent, catalytic cap layers is desirable, especially for smart window devices. In this respect, the catalytic properties of transition metal oxides [85] for storage materials could also prove to be useful for smart windows. 

To trust only on mechanical instability by accumulation on a desired spot for the release of pay-load from vesicles is an imperfection of the system. By the incorporation of channel proteins in the bilayer of vesicles that can open or close upon a variety of signals smart release of encapsulated substances is brought closer. Especially the modified mechano-sensitive channel protein MscL " from Lactococcus lactis can be remotely controlled. The MscL can be modified fo be responsive to light or for...

Such microbeads (as small as several hundred nanometres) have been found in North America s Great Lakes [52]. Similarly, the potential uses of nanomaterials in prepared foods have raised health concerns. An example of such a potential new product is a smart food that would respond to an individual s nutritional needs by, for example, selectively releasing encapsulated vitamins. Such potential products have concerns because nanoencapsulated materials having sizes smaller than about 300 nm could move into unintended parts of the body, such as across a placental barrier.
