Core-shell particle

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002583",
  "term": "Core-shell particle",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A composite particle consisting of a central core material encapsulated by a distinct outer shell material. This structure provides a combination of properties from both components, such as protecting the core from degradation or modifying its surface characteristics. Such particles are widely used in catalysis, drug delivery, and coatings.",
