A ruptured, hollow silica microcapsule made by interfacial condensation in a microfluidic device. Tetrachlorosilane droplets were formed at a T-junction constructed by a needle inserted into laboratory tubing, in which the aqueous continuous phase flows. As the droplets traveled down the channel, the silane condensed with water, forming silica templated by the droplet.
