Surface morphology (top), cross-section and shell thickness (bottom) of thermally polymerized capsules. (a) Particles prepared with Qm:Qs = 9:1 and 2.0 wt % initiator concentration. (b) Particles prepared with Qm:Qs = 1:1 and 2.0 wt % initiator concentration. (c) Particles with thin shell prepared with Qm:Qs = 1:9 and 5.0 wt % initiator concentration. (d) Particles with ultra-thin shell prepared with Qm:Qs = 1:99 and 15.0 wt % initiator concentration. All particles were produced at Qd, total = 1.0 mL h−1, Qc = 8.0 mL h−1 × 2.
