This paper describes the mechanical properties of thin-walled, liquid-filled calcium alginate capsules by measuring the deformation of these particles in a spinning drop apparatus. By variation of the guluronic acid content of the alginate, the polymerization time and the calcium and alginate concentration we systematically studied the elastic properties of these capsules. In a series of experiments we observed for the first time new types of irreversibly deformed capsules, which can be…

Mechanical properties of liquid-filled shellac composite capsules.
TLDR
The mechanical properties of thin-walled, liquid-filled composite capsules consisting of calcium pectinate and shellac, and the deformation properties of these particles in a spinning drop apparatus, are described.
Production, deformation and mechanical investigation of magnetic alginate capsules.
TLDR
The deformation of alginate capsules in magnetic fields is investigated by encapsulating an oil in water emulsion, where the oil droplets contained dispersed magnetic nanoparticles, and this encapsulating technique allows the production of flexible capsules with an emulsion as the capsule core.
Alginate/poly-L-lysine capsules: mechanical properties and drug release characteristics
In this paper we studied the mechanical stability and the release kinetics of different types of liquid-filled calcium alginate/poly-L-lysine capsules. The aqueous cores of these particles were…
Strong Deformation of Ferrofluid-Filled Elastic Alginate Capsules in Inhomogenous Magnetic Fields.
TLDR
This work presents a new system based on alginate gels for the encapsulation of a ferrofluid drop, which allows for millimeter-sized elastic capsules that are highly deformable by inhomogeneous magnetic fields and achieves quantitative agreement between theory and experiment for deformed capsule shapes.
Influence of internal composition on physicochemical properties of alginate aqueous-core capsules.
Effects of process variables on the encapsulation of oil in ca-alginate capsules using an inverse gelation technique
TLDR
The effects of process variables on the encapsulation of oil in a calcium alginate membrane using an inverse gelation technique increased following first-order kinetics with an increasing curing time and an increase in the calcium chloride concentration increased the membrane thickness of wet capsules and the elastic modulus of dry capsules.

TLDR
The compression of a capsule between two plates is considered and it is shown that the isotropic dilation plays the major role and an asymptotic behavior independent of the shear modulus is found for large deformations.
