The present invention relates to treatment compositions containing polymer systems that provide stability and benefit agent deposition as well as methods of making and using same. Such treatment compositions may be used for example as through the wash and/or through the rinse fabric enhancers as well as unit dose treatment compositions.

Disclosed is a non-spherical microcapsule comprising a core comprising fatty ester having a melting point of at least 30° C. and a benefit agent; a shell comprising nanoparticles having a diameter of 10 to 300 nm.

An improved process of forming polyurea and chitosan microcapsules encapsulating a benefit agent is described. The process comprises forming a water phase comprising hydrolyzing chitosan in an acidic medium at a pH of 6.5 or less for an extended period and combining with a polyisocyanate. The reaction product of the hydrolyzed chitosan and polyisocyanate yields a microcapsule having improved release characteristics, with enhanced degradation characteristics in OECD test method 301B.

A core-shell microcapsule comprising a core containing a functional ingredient and a shell surrounding or at least partially surrounding said core, the shell comprising a thermosetting resin formed by the reaction of shell-forming monomers comprising a polyamine and a material comprising a plurality of olefinic double bonds capable of reacting with the polyamine.

A portioned washing or cleaning agent in a container made of water-soluble material comprising at least two compartments which are separated from each other, wherein in at least one compartment a liquid washing or cleaning agent and in at least one further compartment, different herefrom, a powdery washing or cleaning agent is located which comprises core shell microcapsules in the form of microcapsule granulate, wherein the microcapsules comprise at least one additive in the core.

A method of making a population of capsules, the capsules can include a core including a benefit agent and a shell surrounding the core, wherein the shell can include a first shell component.

The present disclosure provides water soluble laundry detergent products comprising one or more non-fibrous sheets and at least one solid layer, wherein the at least one solid layer comprises a gel and a solidifying agent and is coated on one or more sides of the one or more non-fibrous sheets, is disposed between two or more of the non-fibrous sheets, or a combination thereof; and methods of their making and using.

A delayed-release particle comprising a polymer-based matrix comprising polyvinylpyrrolidone and chitosan, and a hydrophobic benefit agent encapsulated by said polymer-based matrix; and processes and consumer products related thereto.

Disclosed are: (a) controlled release matrix particles containing 10-70 wt. % of a hydrophobic active ingredient, 21-72 wt. % of a polysaccharide, 3.80-12 wt. % of a crosslinking agent, 1.00-6 wt. % of a catalyst and 0.10-5 wt. % of a silica flow aid; (b) controlled release core/shell particles containing 10-70 wt. % of a hydrophobic active ingredient, 1.0-3.2 wt. % of an epoxidized oil, 21-64 wt. % of a polysaccharide, 7.6-23% of an amine-functionality containing material, and 0.10-5 wt. % of a silica flow aid; and (c) hybrid particles wherein the core/shell particles are contained in a matrix. Also disclosed are methods for making the particles and compositions containing the particles.

The invention provides a method for preparing a plurality of granules comprising a biological active and a non-volatile liquid by using mixer-granulation, wherein the granules exhibit reduced dust release upon exposure to mechanical stress.
