title: Robust enzyme-silica composites made from enzyme nanocapsules.
abstract: Novel enzyme composites are synthesized first by in situ polymerization around enzymes and a subsequent sol-gel process. Both the polymer shell and the silica shell with desired functional moieties provide not only great enzyme protection but also a favorable microenvironment, resulting in significantly enhanced activity and stability.
