Layer-by-layer assembled polyelectrolyte capsules with well-controlled architectures and great versatility have been the subject of great interest, due to their unique advantages and tremendous potentials of being excellent candidates in multidisciplinary fields. UV light responsive microcapsules, as one class of the stimuli responsive capsules, possess the abilities to active their functionalities by responding to the UV stimulus remotely without requirement of direct contact or interaction. Therefore, any advances in this field will be of great value for the establishment of approaches to fabricate UV responsive polyelectrolyte capsules for desired uses. This review presents current development of UV responsive capsules, with emphasis on the underlying design strategies and their potential applications as delivery vesicles. In particular, UV-stimulated capsule functionalities, such as cargo encapsulation, release and combined multifunctionalities by the multilayers, have been addressed.
层层组装的聚电解质胶囊具有良好的可控结构和多功能性，由于其独特的优势和在多学科领域中成为优秀候选者的巨大潜力，引起了极大的关注。光响应微胶囊作为一类刺激响应胶囊，具有通过远程响应 UV 刺激来激活其功能的能力，而无需直接接触或相互作用。因此，该领域的任何进展对于建立用于预期用途的 UV 响应聚电解质胶囊的制造方法都将具有重要价值。本综述介绍了光响应胶囊的最新进展，重点介绍了其潜在的设计策略及其作为递药载体的应用。特别地，讨论了 UV 刺激胶囊功能，例如通过多层结构进行货物包封、释放和组合多功能性。
