Abstract
A study was made of the preparation of polyamide microcapsules containing aqueous bovine serum albumin solution. The size and size distribution were found to be independent of the concentration of bovine serum albumin. The formation of double microcapsules was frequently observed. Part of the amino residues of the encapsulated bovine serum albumin molecules was supposed to be chemically incorporated in the microcapsule membranes through the reaction with acid chloride.
