Abstract

Counter-ion condensation of Poly(L-Lysine) in the presence of pyranine-3 generates spherical coacervates, which then template the assembly of silica nanoparticles to form microcapsule structures that dynamically control the optical ratiometric sensing of both the change in pH and release of the probe molecule.
