Description

Microcapsules, its purposes and manufacture method thereof
The present invention relates to such microcapsules (microcapsule), these microcapsules have the core that is surrounded by polymer shell, and wherein said core comprises hydrophobic liquid or hydrophobic wax.Described shell is formed by hydrophobicity simple function ethylenically unsaturated monomers, multifunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomers, optional other monomers and other hydrophobic polymer.In the present invention, described core can comprise active component, for example ultraviolet ray (UV) absorbent, fire retardant or phase change material.Desirable is can easily granular composition be incorporated in the multiple product (for example coating, sun-screening agent or multiple textile product).
In many cases, desirable provide such capsule, this capsule comprises the shell that surrounds core material.For example, described core can comprise the active component of slowly-releasing, for example aromatic, pesticide, various medicaments etc.In other cases, for the core material in being encapsulated in described shell, desirable is permanently or at least induces described core to be kept perfectly substantially before being released in suitable triggering agent.In many cases, importantly described core material is not released from described capsule.This comprises that (for example) is used for the ultra-violet absorber of sealing of sun-screening agent and clothes goods.
Another kind of important use comprises can be as the phase-change material through sealing of thermal energy storage product.This series products comprises fabric, and clothes particularly.What have special value is that (for example) comprises the microcapsules phase transformation hydrocarbon material, that combine with fiber spinning dope, and it is extruded subsequently, thereby forms filament, and this filament is collected after solidifying again.Because the spinning technique stoste that need be extruded usually often is higher than under the environment of about 150 ℃ or 200 ℃ through excess temperature, and may in addition up to 350 ℃ or higher, so desirable be that whole basically core material is maintained in the described shell.Fiber such as nylon and polyester fiber can be made by melt-spinning technology, and it is usually directed to high temperature, for example above 300 ℃ or 350 ℃.But, be difficult to find suitable chemical measure (right chemistry) that sealing and durable shell wall are provided, this shell wall be directed in the fiber, but can not be subjected to injurious effects in the spinning technique process.
The multiple method that is used to prepare capsule has been proposed in the document.For example, knownly seal hydrophobic liquid: hydrophobic liquid is distributed in the aqueous medium that comprises melamino-formaldehyde precooling condensate by following process; Reduce pH then, surround described hydrophobic liquid, impervious amino resin shell wall thereby formed.Many such technologies are described among AU-A-27028/88 and the GB-A-1507739 to some extent at GB-A-2073132, and wherein said capsule is preferred for being provided at the ink through sealing that uses in the pressure-sensitive carbonless copy paper.
Yet though be impervious and durable based on the capsule of melamine resin, they often have the lower shortcoming of impermeability at high temperature.In addition, also has the risk that formaldehyde is derived and evolved.
