Thermal stability of composite phase change material microcapsules incorporated with silver nano-particles

This paper reports a study on the thermal stability of phase change material microcapsules that are incorporated with silver nano-particles (Ag-NPs). The novel microcapsules were fabricated by the technique of in situ polymerization, with aminoplast as the wall and phase change material bromo-hexadecane (PCM BrC16) as the core. Thermal gravimetry (TG) analysis was applied to measure the thermal stability of these microcapsules and surface morphology of the microcapsules was observed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) after an application of curing treatment at 130 °C. Comparing with conventional phase change material microcapsules (PCMMs), nano-composite phase change material microcapsules (NCPCMMs) have higher thermal stability. This can be attributed to nano-composite structure of the microcapsules, in which metal Ag-NPs distributed on the surface to increase wall toughness and strength. The possible reinforcement mechanisms of the nano-composite structure are explored.     

Methoxybutropate Microencapsulation by Gelatin-Acacia Complex Coacervation

Microcapsules of methoxybutropate solid particles or of an oily saturated solution of the same drug were prepared by complex coacervation between gelatin and acacia and dried with three different methods: isopropanol addition, spray-drying, and freeze-drying. Successively, microparticles were analyzed by infrared thermobalance, ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, optical and scanning electron microscopy, and sieves to find out parameters such as yield, moisture content, encapsulation percentage, morphology of solid particles, and particle size. Results highlighted that the most appropriate drying method for industrial purposes was spray-drying, particularly for oil-containing microcapsule formulations.

Precision emulsification for droplet and capsule production

Emulsions and microcapsules are typical structures in various dispersion formulations for pharmaceutical, food, personal and house care applications. Precise control over size and size distribution of emulsion droplets and microcapsules are important for effective use and delivery of active components and better product quality. Many emulsification technologies have been developed to meet different formulation and processing requirements. Among them, membrane and microfluidic emulsification as emerging technologies have the feature of being able to precisely manufacture droplets in a drop-by-drop manner to give subscribed sizes and size distributions with lower energy consumption. This paper reviews fundamental sciences and engineering aspects of emulsification, membrane and microfluidic emulsification technologies and their use for precision manufacture of emulsions for intensified processing. Generic application examples are given for single and double emulsions and microcapsules with different structure features.     

In vivo Cellular Uptake,Degradation, and Biocompatibility of Polyelectrolyte Microcapsules

Polyelectrolyte microcapsules are made by layer‐by‐layer (LbL) coating of a sacrificial template, followed by decomposition of the template, to produce hollow microcapsules. In this paper, we report on the in vivo cellular uptake, degradation and biocompatibility of polyelectrolyte microcapsules produced from alternating dextran sulphate and poly‐L‐arginine layers on a template of calcium carbonate microparticles. We show that a moderate tissue reaction is observed after subcutaneous injection of polyelectrolyte microcapsules in mice. Within sixteen days after subcutaneous injection, most of the microcapsules are internalized by the cells and start to get degraded. The number of polyelectrolyte layers determines the stability of the microcapsules after cellular uptake.     

Experimental Investigation of Performances of Microcapsule Phase Change Material for Thermal Energy Storage

Performances of microcapsule phase change material (MPCM) for thermal energy storage are investigated. The MPCM for thermal energy storage is prepared by a complex coacervation method with gelatin and acacia as wall materials and paraffin as core material in an emulsion system. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to study the microstructure of the MPCM. In thermal analysis, a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was employed to determine the melting temperature, melting latent heat, solidification temperature, and solidification latent heat of the MPCM for thermal energy storage. The SEM micrograph indicates that the MPCM has been successfully synthesized and that the particle size of the MPCM is about 81 μm. The DSC output results show that the melting temperature of the MPCM is 52.05 °C, the melting latent heat is 141.03 kJ/kg, the solidification temperature is 59.68 °C, and the solidification latent heat is 121.59 kJ/kg. The results prove that the MPCM for thermal energy storage has a larger phase change latent heat and suitable phase change temperature, so it can be considered as an efficient thermal energy storage material for heat utilizing systems.

Non-destructive 3-dimensional mapping of microcapsules in polymeric coatings by confocal Raman spectroscopy

Nowadays, the properties of polymeric coatings are enhanced by various additives mixed into the resin. Recently, embedding of polymeric microcapsules into the coating matrix has been investigated to provide special on-demand features to the coating. The detection and characterization of such microcapsules in a polymeric coating are of major importance but difficult, because both are built up by similar molecules with similar densities. Current analysis methods require complex sample preparation to allow reliable measurements.In contrast, confocal Raman spectroscopy allows fast and non-destructive differentiation between characteristic molecular bonds at a spatial resolution below one micrometer. Hence, the objective of this research was to apply this technique on microcapsules embedded in a coating and provide answers to the following questions: Can one detect microcapsules embedded in a coating and clearly identify them? Can one differentiate between full and empty microcapsules and the coating matrix? Can one determine the exact location of the capsules and their distribution in the coating?Therefore, several two-dimensional confocal Raman spectroscopy mappings recorded at different depths allowed a three-dimensional reconstruction of the polymeric coating with the polymeric microcapsules in it. Thereby, the distribution of the capsules within the coating could be determined with micrometer resolution. As a result Raman tomography provides a more detailed insight into the distribution of microcapsules through the possibility of three-dimensional reconstruction.
