Abstract
A rapid mixing and sampling technique was used to study the permeability characteristics of semipermeable aqueous microcapsules (artificial cells). Urea, creatine, creatinine, uric acid, glucose, sucrose, and salicylic acid equilibrated rapidly across nylon microcapsules of 207 μ diameter (e.g., T 1/2 for urea of 3.4 sec). From these results the permeability constants were calculated (e.g., P for urea of 2 × 10−4 cm/sec). Very much the same permeability constants were found for collodion microcapsules. The equivalent pore radius of the membrane of the nylon microcapsules were estimated to be 18 A.Keywords
