For decades scientists have been working on closed systems for transportation, catalysis and protection, which are inspired by natural cells. Only recently polymer based systems have emerged for these systems, since they are more robust, give protection from the environment and give a more stable membrane. Various methods have been developed to prepare polymer based capsules. They can be made by self-assembly, templating, in situ polymerization or precipitation. Their application has been explored in various areas e.g. drug delivery, diagnostics, sensors and nano reactors. Considering the output in this field has substantially grown, more developments can be expected from this latter application.
几十年来，科学家们一直在致力于开发受天然细胞启发的用于运输、催化和保护的封闭系统。直到最近，基于聚合物的系统才出现用于这些用途，因为它们更坚固，能抵御外界环境并提供更稳定的膜。已经开发出各种方法来制备基于聚合物的胶囊。它们可以通过自组装、模板法、原位聚合或沉淀法来制备。它们的应用已经在各个领域得到探索，例如药物递送、诊断、传感器和纳米反应器。鉴于该领域的产出大幅增长，可以预期后一种应用会有更多的发展。
