Microencapsulation via Interfacial Polymerization
Polymerization plays a key role in chemical microencapsulation. The basic mechanism of this method is to put a polymer wall (can be multilayer) through polymerization on a core material, which is in a form of small liquid droplets, solid particles, or even gas bubbles; or to embed the core material...

Summary: | Polymerization plays a key role in chemical microencapsulation. The basic mechanism of this
method is to put a polymer wall (can be multilayer) through polymerization on a core material,
which is in a form of small liquid droplets, solid particles, or even gas bubbles; or to embed the core
material in a polymer matrix through polymerization. Interfacial polymerization is one of the most
important methods that have been extensively developed and industrialized for microencapsulation. According to Thies1 and Salaun,2 interfacial polymerization includes ve types of processes
represented by the methods of emulsion polymerization, suspension polymerization, dispersion
polymerization, interfacial polycondensation/polyaddition, and in situ polymerization. This chapter
is only focused on interfacial polycondensation and polyaddition in a narrow sense of interfacial
polymerization. |
