A composition for stably preparing a hollow particle by a coacervation method, a hollow particle prepared using a composition for preparing a hollow particle, and a method of preparing a hollow particle are disclosed. A mono-disperse hollow particle is stably provided by excellent coacervate forming capability, such that it is expected to be beneficially used as a carrier in various fields such as a cosmetic, a paint, plastic, rubber, a synthetic wood, a refractory material, and an agricultural chemical.

Described herein is a composite microcapsule slurry including at least one microcapsule having an oil-based core including a hydrophobic material, preferably a perfume, and a composite shell including a first material and a second material. The first material and the second material are different, the first material is a coacervate, the second material is a polymeric material, and the weight ratio in the slurry between the first material and the second material is between 50:50 and 99.9:0.1.

A method for producing a capsule, including cooling a suspension so as to gel a thermoresponsive polymer including a core 8 formed from a gel of an ionically-bonded polymer and form a shell (17) of a hydrogel, the suspension being obtained by suspending, in oil (10), a sol (9) of the thermoresponsive polymer, and then using a chelating agent to solate the core so as to hollow out the inside.

The invention relates to a process for coating water-insoluble solids by ionic gelation employing negatively-charged macromolecules and a source of polyvalent cations as film-forming materials, wherein the coating material represents not more than 10% (w/w) with regard to the total weight of the coated solid. The coated insoluble solids may be subsequently dried to generate surface-modified dry particles for use as active ingredients and/or excipients in the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions or food products.
