Moreover, we demonstrate that synthesizing colloids (cooking) does not only lead to the final core–shell particles, but also to intermediate-product-particles, which are interesting in their own right and offer additional possibilities for various physical experiments (looking). In particular, we focus on the application of crosslinked latex particles as microgel particles, non-spherically shaped particles as model particles for shape-induced geometrical frustration and the final core–shell particles for the direct measurement of thermodynamic properties using quantitative real-space confocal microscopy.

We demonstrate that the structural properties of the colloidal shells can be controlled through the colloidal particle size and modulus, and the state of supporting microgel particles. This technique offers a new way to engineer colloidosomes, enabling fine control over their permeability over a wide range of length scales.
