Following the resurgence of interest in particle-stabilised or Pickering emulsions recently, the preparation of capsules from such templates has become feasible. We review some of the recent activity in this area and focus on both the methods used to reinforce the particle shell and the applications of these novel capsules, which may be empty or liquid-filled. The methods reported include interfacial polymerisation or crystallisation, interfacial cross-linking, the use of a sacrificial template, formation of polymer layers, gelation and evaporation from multiple emulsions. Potential applications are in the areas of wastewater treatment, perfume encapsulation, drug/dye release and as self-healing coatings.

随着近来对颗粒稳定的乳液或Pickering乳液的兴趣重新兴起，从这种模板制备胶囊已经变得可行。我们回顾了该领域的一些近期活动，并集中于用于增强颗粒外壳的方法和这些新型胶囊的应用，这些新型胶囊可能是空的或液体填充的。报告的方法包括界面聚合或结晶，界面交联，使用牺牲模板，形成聚合物层，凝胶化和从多种乳液中蒸发。潜在的应用领域包括废水处理，香料封装，药物/染料释放以及作为自修复涂料。
