A scalable method for the production of pH responsive polyamide microcapsules for drug delivery

A scalable method for the synthesis of polyethylene terephthalamide microcapsules grafted with polyacrylic acid to enable pH responsiveness has been developed. Microcapsules were produced by interfacial polymerisation of an oil-in-water emulsion in a 2 L batch reactor and subsequently circulated thr...
