In this paper, melamin-formaldehyde microcapsules filled with pentaerythritol tetrakis (3-mercaptopropionate) (PETMP) or epoxy were prepared via oil-in-water emulsion polymerization method. Two different routes were chosen from literature, and applied with some changes. The effects of modification of reaction conditions on the resulting capsules were studied. It was found that too low pH value in the emulsion causes burst polymerization of the wall material, without microcapsule formation. When pH was set to 4.5 spherical microcapsules were formed. Optical microscopy was used to evaluate the microcapsules.
