Abstract
A method comprises providing an aqueous solution having an alkaline pH and providing an oil including at least one silsesquioxane compound. The oil is added to the aqueous solution. The oil forms a plurality of silsesquioxane oil droplets suspended in the aqueous solution such that an internal osmotic pressure is generated inside the oil droplets via a chemical reaction. The aqueous solution is allowed to osmotically diffuse into the plurality of oil droplets for a predetermined time. The silsesquioxane oil droplets are polymerized by cross-linking the at least one silsesquioxane compound included in the silsesquioxane oil droplets to form a plurality of solidified microcapsules containing the aqueous solution therewithin.
