Amphiphilic Hollow Carbonaceous Microspheres with Permeable Shells

Abstract

An inside job: Porous hollow carbonaceous microspheres can be easily fabricated by hydrothermal treatment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. An amphiphilic surface and porous shell structure endow these microspheres with phase-transfer features and the ability to enrich proteins inside their hollow interiors. These characteristics will enable their application in drug delivery, active ingredients encapsulation, adsorption, and separation techniques.
