Internal Structure of Matrix-Type Multilayer Capsules Templated on Porous Vaterite CaCO<sub>3</sub> Crystals as Probed by Staining with a Fluorescence Dye

Multilayer capsules templated on decomposable vaterite CaCO<sub>3</sub> crystals are widely used as vehicles for drug delivery. The capsule represents typically not a hollow but matrix-like structure due to polymer diffusion into the porous crystals during multilayer deposition. The caps...
