Microcapsules were prepared using the complex coacervation method with nanoanatase TiO2 as the core material, gelatin/Arabia gum as the wall material. Then the obtained microcapsules were finished to the PP nonwovens to investigate the photocatalytic properties to the nonwovens. The breaking strength decrease of the finished polypropylene nonwoven after irradiated with the artificial UV lamp was the optimization evaluation index, and the four factors including finishing temperature, adhesive concentration, microcapsule concentration and finishing time were used to design the experimental scheme using the second order orthogonal rotation combination design. The data were processed with SAS software, the obtained optimal finish process is: finishing temperature is 22°C, adhesive concentration is 75g/L, microcapsule concentration is 36g/L, and finishing time 25min.

Microcapsules were prepared using the complex coacervation method with nano anatase TiO2 as the core material, gelatin/Arabia gum as the wall material, while dispersing TiO2 into the reaction solution using the ultrasonic. The prepared microcapsules can be finished into textiles such as the polypropylene nonwovens, and the microcapsules in the textiles gradually fracture and the anatase TiO2 was released, which would facilitate photo-degradation of the polypropylene nonwovens when exposed in sunlight. The microcapsules size was used as the process optimization evaluation index, and the quadratic general revolving combination design was used to conduct the experiments for obtaining the optimum ultrasonic conditions, and the other progress parameters were the same that used in our early microcapsule preparation. The obtained optimal process for ultrasound is: ultrasonic time is 17min; ultrasonic power is 74W and ultrasound temperature 60 °C.

Microcapsules were prepared by in situ polymerization with urea formaldehyde resin as the wall material and Dulux waterborne acrylic acid as the core material. The effects of the core–wall ratio, water bath temperature and depositing time on the morphology, particle size, yield and encapsulation ratio of microcapsules were investigated by orthogonal experiment of three factors and two levels. The results showed that the core–wall ratio had the greatest influence on the performance of microcapsules. When the core–wall ratio was 0.58:1, the water bath temperature was 70 °C, and the depositing time was 5 d, the microcapsule performance was the best. With the increase in depositing time, the yield of microcapsule particles increased gradually, and the microcapsules appeared to show an adhesive phenomenon. However, the long-term depositing time did not lead to complete deposition and agglomeration of microcapsules. When 10.0% concentration of the waterborne acrylic microcapsules with 0.58:1 of core–wall ratio was added to the coatings, the mechanical and optical properties of the coatings did not decrease significantly, but the elongation at break increased significantly. Therefore, this study offers a new prospect for using waterborne acrylic microcapsules to improve the toughness of waterborne paint film which can be cured at room temperature on a wood surface.

Novel Drug

Novel drug delivery system is a method by which drug delivered can have significant effect on its efficacy. There are several advantages of novel drug delivery system over conventional multi dose therapy, which include improved efficacy, reduced toxicity, improved patient compliance and convenience. Many efforts have been made in developing novel drug delivery system, which emphasizes on controlled and sustained release dosage forms to obtain optimum benefits. There are various approaches in delivering a therapeutic substance to the target site in a sustained controlled release fashion. One such approach is using microspheres or microcapsules. Microencapsulation is a process by which solids, liquids or gases can be enclosed in microscopic particles by forming a thin coating of wall material around substances, which protects it from external environment and control the drug release yielding capsules ranging for one micron to several hundred microns in size (1µ- 800µ). There are different microencapsulation techniques, which are used to obtain microcapsules for controlled release of drug. The morphology of microcapsules depends on the core material and deposition of coating material. Substances may be microencapsulated for the purpose of confining core material within capsule wall for specific period of time. Core materials are also encapsulated so that the core material can be gradually released (controlled release or diffusion) or when external conditions trigger the capsule walls to rupture, melt, or dissolve. Microencapsulation has found many applications in science and technology.

The aim of the study was to prove the usefulness of microencapsulation of Camelina sativa oil regarding its vulnerability to oxidation caused by oxygen, temperature, and other factors. Pectin, inulin, gum arabic, and β-glucan, each of them mixed with maltodextrin, were used as wall materials and their appropriability to reduce oxidation of the core material was examined. Microcapsules were prepared by spray drying, which is the most commonly used and very effective method. The research confirmed results known from literature, that gum arabic and inulin are most proper wall materials, because they ensure small oxidation increase during storage (4.59 and 5.92 eq/kg after seven days respectively) and also provide high efficiency of process (83.93% and 91.74%, respectively). Pectin turned out to be the least appropriate polysaccharide because it is not able to assure sufficient protection for the core material, in this case Camelina sativa oil, due to low efficiency (61.36%) and high oxidation (16.11 eq/kg after seven days). β-glucan occurred to be the coating material with relatively high encapsulation efficiency (79.26%) but high humidity (4.97%) which could negatively influence the storage of microcapsules. The use of polysaccharides in microencapsulation, except performing the role of wall material, has the advantage of increasing the amount of dietary fiber in human diet.

In this paper, melamine–formaldehyde (MF) was used as the wall material, and epoxy resin was used as the core material to prepare microcapsules. The optical properties, mechanical properties and ageing resistance of waterborne topcoat were investigated by adding different mass fractions of microcapsules into the waterborne topcoat. Through scanning electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy analysis, the prepared microcapsules of core-wall ratio of 0.50 were more uniform. It was found that when the mass fraction of microcapsules is less than 10.0% and the core–wall ratio is 0.50, the original color difference of the coating can be maintained. With the increase in microcapsule mass fraction, the gloss of the topcoat film gradually decreases. The mass fraction of the microcapsule of 4.0% with the core–wall ratio of 0.50 can maintain the original gloss of 30.0 GU. The topcoat film with the MF-coated epoxy resin microcapsules of the core–wall ratio of 0.50 has high impact resistance, adhesion and hardness. The results showed that the gloss loss and color difference of the coating with the MF-coated epoxy microcapsules were the lowest when the mass fraction of microcapsules was 4.0%, indicating that microcapsules can improve the stability of coating. These results lay a technical foundation for the development and application of high-performance wood coatings.

The double-layered microencapsulation technology has been used in many fields. In this study, the double-layered microencapsulated anthocyanin of Passiflora edulis shells (APESs) was prepared via complex coacervation using gelatin and gum Arabic as the first wall materials (single-layered microcapsules (SMs)) and using gum Arabic containing nano-SiO2 as the second wall material (double-layered microcapsules (DMs)/nano-SiO2) to enhance the stability of the core material. Properties of microcapsules were analyzed on the basis of EE, morphology, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), droplet size, moisture content, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the EE values of SMs, DMs, and DMs/nano-SiO2 were 96.12%, 97.24%, and 97.85%, respectively. DMs/nano-SiO2 had the lowest moisture content (2.17%). The average droplet size of DMs/nano-SiO2 (34.93 μm) was higher than those of SMs and DMs. DSC indicated that the melting temperature of DMs/nano-SiO2 was 73.61°C and 45.33°C higher than those of SMs and DMs, respectively. SEM demonstrated that DMs/nano-SiO2 had the smoothest surface compared with the other two kinds of microcapsules. The storage stability of APESs and their microcapsules indicated that the stability of the microcapsules was improved by adding DMs/nano-SiO2 into the wall material of microcapsules. These results indicated double-layered microcapsules containing silica nanoparticles contribute to the stability of the core material.

Electrophoretic Display

The microcapsules used for electrophoretic display were prepared by in-situ polymerization. The core material contained electrophoretic particles (phthalocyanine blue and TiO2) and tetrachloroethylene (TCE), and the wall material were made of melamine-formaldehyde resin. The effects of preparation conditions, such as the concentration of surfactant, the ratio of core material to wall material, the pH values were all experimentally investigated. Moreover, titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles were modified with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TPM) in order to obtain a lipophilic surface. Furthermore, the modified TiO2was coated with polystyrene (PS) for improving the density mismatch between TiO2particles and TCE. The core material of phthalocyanine blue was modified with octadecylamine to improve its dispersibility in TCE. The morphology of microcapsules was observed by optical microscope. The coated TiO2particles were characterized by scanning electron microscope and thermogravimetry analysis. The modified TiO2particles and phthalocyanine blue were determined by FTIR spectrometry.

Studies on recycled materials emerged during recent years. This paper investigates samples’ sound absorption properties for panels fabricated of a mixture of paper sludge (PS) and clay mixture. PS was the core material. The sound absorption was measured. We also consider the influence of an air gap between panels and rigid backing. Different air gaps (50, 100, 150, 200 mm) simulate existing acoustic panel systems. Finally, the PS and clay composite panel sound absorption coefficients are compared to those for a typical commercial absorptive ceiling panel. The average sound absorption coefficient of PS-clay composite panels (αavg. in the frequency range from 250 to 1600 Hz) was up to 0.55. The resulting average sound absorption coefficient of panels made of recycled (but unfinished) materials is even somewhat higher than for the finished commercial (finished) acoustic panel (αavg. = 0.51).
