The present invention relates to a process for producing microcapsules each including a core-shell type structure having a core portion containing at least one functional compound and a shell portion, the process including: step (1): mixing at least one functional compound, a water-soluble monomer (monomer (A)), a crosslinkable monomer having two or more (meth)acryloyl groups (monomer (B)), an oil-soluble polymerization initiator, an organic chain-transfer agent, and water, to obtain a monomer emulsion; and step (2): heating the monomer emulsion obtained in the step (1) to polymerize the monomers, thereby obtaining microcapsules, the organic chain transfer agent having a ClogP value of 3 or less.

Provide is edible oil-encapsulating microcapsules having a core portion containing edible oil or fat having a melting point of 30° C. or less, and a shell portion encapsulating the core portion and containing an edible and ionically cross-linkable polymer that is cross-linked with a polyvalent cation in which a number average particle diameter is 10 μm or more and 300 μm or less, and a coefficient of variation of the number average particle diameter is 30% or less, a dispersion liquid of the edible oil-encapsulating microcapsules, a manufacturing method of the edible oil-encapsulating microcapsules, and meat substitute.

Disclosed are biodegradable core-shell microcapsule compositions composed of microcapsules having a wall formed by self-condensation of an isocyanate in the presence of a denatured pea protein as dispersant. Also disclosed are consumer products containing such a core-shell microcapsule composition and methods for producing core-shell microcapsule compositions.

A hybrid encapsulate formulation obtained by mixing a starch/fragrance emulsion with a core-shell capsule suspension is provided as is a method of using the formulation in a personal care product, a beauty care product, a fabric care product, a home care product, a personal hygiene product, an oral care product and a method for releasing an encapsulated fragrance by moisture, shear, or a combination thereof.

Particulate material comprising rough mesoporous hollow nanoparticles. The rough mesoporous hollow nanoparticles may comprise a mesoporous shell, the external surface of which has projections thereon, the projections having smaller sizes than the particle size. The particulate material may be used to deliver active agents, such as insecticides and pesticides. The active agents can enter into the hollow core of the particles and be protected from degradation by sunlight. The rough surface of the particles retains the particles on plant leaves or animal hair. Methods for forming the particles are also described. Carbon particles and methods for forming carbon particles are also described.

Silica-including microcapsule resin particles including an outer shell constituted of a crosslinked polymer and a cavity partitioned with the outer shell, in which the silica-including microcapsule resin particles contain inside the cavity a porous structure in which silica particles are mutually connected, and have a volume average particle diameter of 0.5 to 100 μm.

A method for controlling the encapsulation efficiency and burst release of water soluble molecules from nanoparticle and microparticle formulations produced by the inverted Flash NanoPrecipitation (iFNP) process and subsequent processing steps is presented. The processing steps and materials used can be adjusted to tune the encapsulation efficiency and burst release of the encapsulated water-soluble material. The encapsulation efficiency of the soluble agent in the particles and the burst release of the soluble agent from the particles can be controlled by: (1) the copolymers used in the assembly or coating process, (2) the degree of crosslinking of the nanoparticle core, (3) the incorporation of small molecule or polymeric additives, and/or (4) the processing and release conditions employed.

A method for encapsulating a compound of interest in a matrix may include preparing a first aqueous solution including the compound of interest and a gelating agent. An oil or oil mixture and a second aqueous solution having a gelation inducing agent are prepared. The first aqueous solution is emulsified in the oil or oil mixture to form an emulsion of aqueous solution droplets in oil. That emulsion is emulsified in the second aqueous solution. The gelation inducing agent from the second aqueous solution is diffused through the oil towards the interface of the oil and the first aqueous solution. Gelation of the gelating agent at the interface forms the matrix, wherein particles are obtained including the matrix composed of the gelified gelating agent and encapsulating the compound of interest.
