A novel poly‐ L ‐arginine group microcapsule was produced to investigate its nutritional function and pharmacological efficacy. The molecular weight of poly‐ L ‐arginine is an important parameter for its membrane strength, but does not obviously affect its release property. Thus, poly‐ L ‐arginine can be used as a kind of new membrane material in microcapsules, and it is expected to be used as an therapeutic and biodegradable drug carrier.Influence of the molecular weight of poly‐ L ‐arginine on membrane thickness.
