Nanocapsules are microcontainers made of natural or synthetic polymer materials. By surface treatment of materials, nanocapsules can protect materials from environmental influences, shield taste, color, odor, isolate active ingredients, etc. Due to the targeting and sustained-release properties of nanocapsules, they have been widely used in various industries and play a huge role in the fields of medicine, food and cosmetics. CD Formulation can provide our clients with nanocapsule development services for nanomedicines to meet the different requirements using our advanced nanocapsule preparation methods. Our highly qualified nanoformulation development team can design and explore nanocapsule fabrication techniques, thus promoting research of nanocapsules for nanomedicine.
Nanocapsules use natural or synthetic polymer encapsulation materials to wrap solid, liquid or even gaseous core materials to form microcapsules with a diameter of 1 to 1000 nm. Nanocapsules are formed from shell-like wall coverings containing liquid contents, nanocapsules walls are composed of biodegradable polymers, often producing particles or self-assembly of amphiphilic polymer molecules at spherical interfaces. APIs are dissolved, entrapped, or encapsulated within the solid matrix of such particles of colloidal particles.

Nanocapsules, as multi-phase functional materials, have small particle size and are easy to disperse and suspend in water to form a clear and transparent colloidal solution. Here are advantages of nanocapsules as follows:
Nanocapsule technology mainly uses nanocomposite materials, nanoemulsification, and nanostructure technology to encapsulate biologically active substances in nanoscale spaces and release functional ingredients under the action of specific environmental initiators. We are committed to the research of nanocapsule preparation technology for many years. We can provide our customers with nanocapsule preparation technology based on chemical methods, physicochemical methods, physical methods, etc.

The important physical and chemical properties of the individual capsules become crucial characteristics, such as capsule radius distribution, the capsule surface, the thickness and the permeability of the capsule membrane and capsule decomposition. We can provide you with the following characterization services for nanocapsules.
Technology: Synthesis technology of glutathione (GSH)-cleavable covalently cross-linked polymer coatings (nanocapsules)
Journal: Nature Nanotechnology
IF: 38.3
Published: 2019
Results:
The authors report the design of customizable synthetic nanoparticles for the delivery of Cas9 nuclease and single guide RNA (sgRNA), enabling stoichiometric control of CRISPR components and limiting possible safety concerns in vivo. The authors also describe the synthesis of a thin glutathione (GSH)-cleavable covalently cross-linked polymer coating, termed nanocapsules.
The synthesis of nanocapsules was shown in Fig.3.
