Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPreparation and Properties Study of PCM@ECD BilayerYan Zhao, Heng Zhang, Yanfei Zhao et al.This study reports the fabrication of a core-shell active bilayer membrane (PCM@ECD) via a combined tape-casting and layer-transfer methodology. The inner core layer comprised Pectin-Chitosan (PC) microcapsules, synthesized by complex coacervation, encapsulating Orange Peel Essential Oil (OPEOM) with an embedding efficiency of 83.08%. The outer shell layer consisted of Ethyl Cellulose (EC) doped with zinc-doped carbon dots (Zn-CDs, average size: … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 8 May 2026 · 1,607 accessesView PDFCite
