Formulation and Biodegradation of Surface-Supported Biopolymer-Based Microgels Formed via Hard Templating onto Vaterite CaCO<sub>3</sub> Crystals

In recent decades, there has been increased attention to the role of layer-by-layer assembled bio-polymer 3D structures (capsules, beads, and microgels) for biomedical applications. Such free-standing multilayer structures are formed via hard templating onto sacrificial cores such as vaterite CaCO&l...
