Abstract

The invention discloses a wettability-guided preparation method of microcapsules and application of the microcapsules. The wettability-guided preparation method is characterized in that the microcapsules are obtained by controlling the wettability of a microfluidic channel through a one-step method. The microfluidic channel part is formed by coaxially arranging and assembling one porous capillary tube and one single-hole round tube in one square tube, i.e., a tip of the porous capillary tube is inserted into the single-hole round tube, and meanwhile, central axes of the two tubes are mutually superposed. Oil-soluble microcapsules can be prepared by hydrophobic modification of the porous capillary tube; water-soluble microcapsules can be prepared by hydrophilic modification of the porous capillary tube. The obtained microcapsules have a core-shell structure; in addition, a core of each microcapsule can simultaneously contain different components. The microcapsules can be applied to the technical fields of cell culture, drug encapsulation and the like.

Description

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomaterials, and in particular relates to a method for preparing an infiltration-guided microcapsule, which can be applied in technical fields such as cell culture and drug loading. Background technique [0002] Multiple emulsions are nested systems of emulsions. Due to its excellent characteristics of being able to contain and protect some active substances, it has been widely used in many fields such as cell culture, drug delivery, food additives, cosmetics, chemical separation, and controllable micro-reactions. Multiple emulsions are usually prepared by sequential shear-induced emulsification. For example, in order to prepare a double emulsion, the primary structure single emulsion droplets are first prepared, and then the whole emulsion containing small-sized droplets is used as the dispersed phase for the second emulsification to prepare a double emulsion. The double emulsion droplets prepared by this method usually have high...
