4. Conclusions
In summary, a facile and efficient approach to prepare structured interlocked-microcapsules was developed and the obtained SIMC was used to immobilize enzyme. The NHase immobilized on the SIMC exhibited significantly enhanced stability compared to its free counterpart. Moreover, the improved catalytic activity and mass transfer performance was also obtained owing to the unique structure of SIMC. In the future studies, several factors such as compatibility of the SIMC with different enzymes and mesopore size on the capsule wall require further research work.
