Microcapsule formation in self-assembly of thermal heterocomplex molecules from amino acids

Solid microspheres that were phase-separated in aqueous suspensions of thermal heterocomplex molecules made by heating a mixture of proline and aspartic acid transformed into husk-like microcapsules as pH increased. The transformation from solid microspheres into microcapsules proceeded at two different time scales. Rapid dissolution of thermal heterocomplex molecules from the outer surfaces only during a short period was followed by slow dissolution of those molecules from their inside. The difference of the rates of dissolution led to the formation of microcapsules carrying smaller inner kernels as remnants.
