Sporopollenin micro-reactors for in-situ preparation, encapsulation and targeted delivery of active components

Vesselin N. Paunov, Grahame Mackenzie and Simeon D. Stoyanov


We report a simple and robust technique for loading of sporopollenin microcapsules from Lycopodium clavatum with a range of inorganic and organic nanomaterials based on in-situ preparation of nanoparticles by a chemical reaction in the sporopollenin interior.
