Abstract

Supracolloidal interpenetrating polymer network reinforced capsules are prepared by using micron-sized colloidosomes of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-divinylbenzene) microgels as reaction vessels. An interpenetrating polymer network as scaffold is generated via radical polymerisation of the interior phase to produce hollow supracolloidal structures with a raspberry core–shell morphology. Their flexibility is tailored by variation of the monomer feed composition.
