TauerTag der mündlichen Prüfung: 13.02.2007PAbstractPolyelectrolyte microcapsules containing stimuli-responsive polymers have potential appli-cations in the fields of sensors or actuators, stimulable microcontainers and controlled drugdelivery. Such capsules were prepared, with the focus on pH-sensitivity and carbohydrate-sensing.First, pH-responsive polyelectrolyte capsules were produced by means of electrostatic layer-by-layer assembly of oppositely charged weak polyelectrolytes onto colloidal templates thatwere subsequently removed.
