RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND NEW FRONTIERS IN COACERVATION IN ENCAPSULATION

Partha S. Roy*

ABSTRACT

Recent interest in coacervation as a phenomenon has led to deep questions that influence – and are influenced by – other emerging areas in polymer physics, materials engineering, and biophysics. Complex coacervates represent a wide class of materials with applications ranging from coatings and adhesives to pharmaceutical technologies, and they also underpin multiple biological processes, which are only now beginning to be deciphered.
