Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201570025-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Thermochromic photonic capsules are microfluidically created by encapsulating cholesteric liquid crystals with a hydrogel membrane. On page 627, Y. H. Kim, S.‐H. Kim, and co‐workers demonstrate that these photonic ink capsules can be used as injectable colorimetric micro‐thermometers which potentially provide a temperature profile along the entire medium where the microcapsules are suspended. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh3jjkrqgv" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
