Fig. 6. Micrographs of dried microcapsules containing 500 kDa FITC-dextran (A) before and (B) after rehydration in 1 mM aqueous ADA solution. (C) Corresponding fluorescence micrograph of 500 kDa FITC-dextran loaded microcapsules after rehydration in ADA. (D) Schematic representation of the disassembly of homoternary complexes in the absence of ADA molecules and the [4 + 4]-photodimerisation of anthracene groups in the CB[8] cavity. (E) FITC-dextran (250 kDa) release profiles from microcapsules as a function of the UV irradiation time.
