More particularly, U S Pat Nos 2,730,456, 2,800,457, and 2,800,458 describe methods for capsule formation Other useful methods for microcapsule manufacture are U S Pat Nos 4,001 , 140, 4,081 ,376 and 4,089,802 descπbing a reaction between urea and formaldehyde, U S Pat No 4, 100,103 describing reaction between melamrne and formaldehyde, British Pat No 2,062,570 descπbing a process for producing microcapsules having walls produced by polymerization of melamine and formaldehyde in the presence of a styrenesulfonic acid Microcapsules are also taught in U S Pat Nos 2,730,457 and 4, 197,346 Forming microcapsules from urea-formaldehyde resin and/or melamine formaldehyde resin is disclosed in U S Pat Nos 4,001, 140, 4,081 ,376, 4,089,802, 4,100,103, 4,105,823, and 4,444,699 Alkyl acrylate-acryhc acid copolymer capsules are taught in U S Patent No 4,552,81 1 Each patent described throughout this application is incorporated herein by reference to the extent each provides guidance regarding microencapsulation processes and materials

Interfacial polymerization is a process wherein a microcapsule wall of a polyamide, an epoxy resin, a polyurethane, a polyurea or the like is formed at an interface between two phases U S Pat No 4,622,267 discloses an interfacial polymerization technique for preparation of microcapsules The core mateπal is initially dissolved in a solvent and an aliphatic diisocyanate soluble in the solvent mixture is added Subsequently, a nonsolvent for the aliphatic diisocyanate is added until the turbidity point is just barely reached This organic phase is then emulsified in an aqueous solution, and a reactive amine is added to the aqueous phase The amine diffuses to the interface, where it reacts with the diisocyanate to form polymeric polyurethane shells A similar technique, used to encapsulate salts which are sparingly soluble in water in polyurethane shells, is disclosed in U S Pat No 4,547,429 U S Pat No 3,516,941 teaches polymerization reactions in which the material to be encapsulated, or core material, is dissolved in an organic, hydrophobic oil phase which is dispersed in an aqueous phase The aqueous phase has dissolved mateπals forming aminoplast resin which upon polymerization form the wall of the microcapsule A dispersion of fine oil droplets is prepared using high shear agitation Addition of an acid catalyst initiates the polycondensation forming the aminoplast resin within the aqueous phase, resulting in the formation of an aminoplast polymer which is insoluble in both phases As the polymerization advances, the aminoplast polymer separates from the aqueous phase and deposits on the surface of the dispersed droplets of the oil phase to form a capsule wall at the interface of the two phases, thus encapsulating the core mateπal This process produces the microcapsules Polymerizations that involve amines and aldehydes are known as aminoplast encapsulations Urea-formaldehyde (UF), urea-resorcinol-formaldehyde (URF), urea-melamine-formaldehyde (UMF), and melamine-formaldehyde (MF), capsule formations proceed in a like manner In interfacial polymerization, the mateπals to form the capsule wall are in separate phases, one in an aqueous phase and the other in a fill phase Polymerization occurs at the phase boundary Thus, a polymeric capsule shell wall forms at the interface of the two phases thereby encapsulating the core material Wall formation of polyester, polyamide, and polyurea capsules typically proceeds via interfacial polymerization

U S Patent 5,292,835 teaches polymerizing esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid with polyfunctional monomers Specifically illustrated are reactions of polyvinylpyrrolidone with acrylates such as butanediol diacrylate or methylmethacrylate together with a free radical initiator

Common microencapsulation processes can be viewed as a series of steps First, the core material which is to be encapsulated is typically emulsified or dispersed in a suitable dispersion medium This medium is typically aqueous but involves the formation of a polymer rich phase Most frequently, this medium is a solution of the intended capsule wall material The solvent characteristics of the medium are changed such as to cause phase separation of the wall material The wall material is thereby contained in a liquid phase which is also dispersed in the same medium as the intended capsule core material The liquid wall material phase deposits itself as a continuous coating about the dispersed droplets of the internal phase or capsule core material The wall material is then solidified This process is commonly known as coacervation

U S Patent No 4,046,750 teaches an ionene modified polymeric bead Dimethylamino substituted acrylic polymer is cross-linked and then the formed beads are reacted with a mixture of ditertiary amine and a dihalide to attach ionene segments to the tertiary amine centers on the beads Insoluble cationic modified beads are formed These cationic beads are useful in affinity chromatography

Microcapsule Technologies in WO 01/41915 teaches coating formed anionic microcapsules by adding compounds with a cationic charge in a controlled manner For example polyurea capsules are introduced to a solution of vinylpyrrohdone to coat the capsules and render them with cationic character Similarly melamine microcapsules are taught to be coated with a homogenous solution of hydroxypropyl guar to impact cationic character Gelatin capsules are illustrated coated with hydroxyethyl cellulose followed by epichlorhydπn to render them cationic

Firmenich in EP 1637188 describes flowable dispersions of coacervate capsules based on acrylamido methylpropane sulfonate with a thickening polymer of nonionic and cationic polymers A complex between the anionic aminoplast capsules and cationic polymer is though beneficial to drive the deposition of the capsules from πnse off formulations onto surfaces to which the capsules are applied

Similar to the approach of Microcapsule Technologies, U S publication 2005/01 12152 also teaches applying a second coating of a cationic material over an acrylamide and melamine formaldehyde based wall Cationic polymer coated capsules are taught prepared by mixing uncoated fragrance containing capsules with a cationic polymeric deposition aid Each of the above methods is deficient to form cationic microcapsules of low permance and/or rely on multiple layers making the processes unattractive commercially

Unfortunately, capsules manufactured using the aforementioned methods and raw materials have several drawbacks which include (1) they cannot be formulated in certain classes of products due to stπct formulation limits, (2) they have high permeabilities when incorporated into products that contain high levels of surfactant, solvents, and/or water, which results in the premature benefit agent release, (3) they can only effectively encapsulate a limited breadth of benefit agents, and (4) they either are so stable that they do not release the benefit agent in use or have insufficient mechanical stability to withstand the processes required to incorporate them in and/or make a consumer product and (5) they do not adequately deposit on the situs that is being treated with consumer product that contains capsules.

Capsules made according to the invention can be made to better control permeability characteπstics. Capsules made according to the invention are surprisingly better able to contain liquid contents without leakage over time. The capsules can be made less leaky than those made by comparable prior art processes. Alternatively permeability in certain applications is desired Through selection of wall mateπal and control of length of time of cross-linking or temperature of cross-linking, capsules can be made with differing permeability profiles from extremely tight with little to no leakage to capsules that have measurable permeability useful where a measurable release rate over time is desired.

The capsules according to the invention are useful with a wide vaπety of capsule contents ("core materials") including, by way of illustration and without limitation, perfumes; bπghteners; insect repellants; silicones; waxes; flavors, vitamins; fabπc softening agents; skin care agents; enzymes; probiotics; dye polymer conjugate, dye clay conjugate; perfume delivery system,, sensates in one aspect a cooling agent; attractants, in one aspect a pheromone; antibacterial agents; dyes, pigments; bleaches; flavorants, sweeteners, waxes; pharmaceuticals, fertilizers; herbicides and mixtures thereof. The microcapsule core materials can include mateπals which alter rheology or flow characteπstics, or extend shelf life or product stability. Essential oils as core materials can include, for example, by way of illustration wintergreen oil, cinnamon oil, clove oil, lemon oil, lime oil, orange oil, peppermint oil and the like. Dyes can include fluorans, lactones, indolyl red, I6B, leuco dyes, all by way of illustration and not limitation The core mateπal should be dispersible or sufficiently soluble in the capsule internal phase mateπal namely in the internal phase oil or soluble or dispersible in the monomers or oligomers solubihzed or dispersed in the internal phase oil When the internal phase is water, the core material should be dispersible or sufficiently soluble in the water phase The invention is particularly useful to encapsulate volatile fragrances and flavorants When a water phase is being microencapsulated, with the oil phase serving as the continuous phase, the core mateπal should be soluble or dispersible in the water phase so as to form a dispersion in water that can be emulsified into the oil phase

In alternative embodiments, capsules according to the invention are also able to be fashioned with thermoplastic polymeric materials resulting in low leakage heat sensitive capsules that could be opened with heat in addition to conventional techniques such as pressure, scraping, friction, shearing, impact, or other energy input The capsules according to the invention can also be useful in applications with thermal print heads, or lasers, or other heating or impact elements In alternative embodiments, if a light stimulated mateπal is included, light sensitive capsules are also feasible

The permeability characteristics of the capsules disclosed herein have versatility for a variety of applications Wherever an internal phase is desired to be held securely over time but available to be exuded or released upon fracture or breakage of the capsules such as with application of pressure, a low permeability capsule according to the invention can be fashioned Where measurable release is desired, more permeable capsules can also be fashioned Where adhesion on surfaces such as textiles and anionic substrates is desired, cationic capsules can also be fashioned

Process of Making Encapsulated Mateπals The present invention teaches novel processes for microencapsulation involving water in oil, or oil in water emulsifications, and microcapsules obtained by such processes In one aspect, the present invention teaches a low permeability microcapsule particle compπsing a core mateπal and a wall material at least partially surrounding, and preferably completely surrounding a core mateπal

In one aspect of the invention, the a first composition may comprise an oil soluble or dispersible primary, secondary, or tertiary amine with a multifunctional acrylate or methacrylate monomer or oligomer and an oil soluble acid and an initiator

A second composition is an emulsifier and compπses a water soluble or water dispersible polymer or copolymer, usually at least one water phase initiator and one or more of an alkali or alkali salt By water phase initiator, it is meant that the initiator is soluble or dispersible in water

The reaction of the first composition in the presence of the second composition results in the formation of a low permeability microcapsule wall

The amines can include by way of illustration and not limitation amine modified vinyl monomers including amine modified acrylates or methacrylates such as mono or diacrylate amines, mono or dimethacrylate amines, amine modified polyetheracrylates and amine modified polyethermethacrylates, aminoalkyl acrylates or aminoalkyl methacrylate

The amines can include primary, secondary or tertiary amines and can include tertiary butyl aminethylmethacrylate, diethylaminoethyl methacrylate, or dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate

More particularly, the present invention in one embodiment is a process of obtaining microcapsules by dispersing an oil soluble amine modified polyfunctional polyvinyl monomer or oligomer and an oil soluble bi- or polyfunctional vinyl monomer or oligomer along with a free radical initiator, such as an azo or peroxy initiator, and an organic acid into an internal phase oil This dispersion is heated for a time and temperature sufficient to ohgomeπze or further oligomeπze the amine modified polyfunctional polyvinyl monomer and oil soluble bi- or polyfunctional vinyl monomer or oligomer to form a prepolymer To this internal phase oil and prepolymer, a water phase is added comprising a dispersion in water of an emulsifier or an initiator The water phase in one embodiment is emulsified into the oil phase (W/O) The dispersion is then heated for a time and temperature sufficient to decompose the free radical initiator, which can be placed in one or both of the oil and water phases Microcapsule wall material is thereby formed at the interface of the water and oil phases A third heating step is used to polymerize or harden the formed wall mateπal and usefully to decompose remaining initiator Decompose the free radical initiator means that the initiator is consumed and in the process generates free radicals for furthering propagation of polymerization reaction of the monomers and oligomers

In forming the capsules of the invention, the emulsion is usually milled to a size of from about 2 microns to about 80 microns, from about 5 microns to about 50 micronsm, or even from about 10 microns to about 30 microns Larger sizes for particular applications are also feasible

Unlike conventional microencapsulation processes, the W/O and OAV processes taught herein employing an organic acid are believed to dπve wall material from the oil phase to the oil water interface, though the application and invention should not be construed as limited to this proposed mechanism

The invention teaches novel processes for microencapsulation using water in oil, or alternatively oil in water emulsifications The capsules by the process of the invention enable a low permeability or controlled permeability capsule to be fashioned Permeability can be controlled through wall mateπal selection, through control of degree of cross-linking, by controlling temperature of cross-linking, by controlling length of time of cross-linking, or with UV initiated systems by controlling intensity of UV light and duration

In an alternative embodiment, the present invention is a process of obtaining microcapsules by dispersing an oil soluble amine modified polyfunctional polyvinyl monomer or oligomer and an oil soluble bi- or polyfunctional vinyl monomer or oligomer along with a free radical initiator, such as a peroxy or azo initiator, and an organic acid into an internal phase oil This dispersion is heated for a time and temperature sufficient to ohgomeπze or further ohgomeπze the amine modified polyfunctional polyvinyl monomer and oil soluble bi- or polyfunctional vinyl monomer to form a prepolymer To this internal phase oil and prepolymer, a water phase is added in excess comprising a dispersion in water of an emulsifier and optionally, a free radical initiator The oil phase in this embodiment is emulsified into the water phase (OAV) The dispersion is then heated for a time and temperature sufficient to decompose the free radicals, positioned in one or both of the oil and water phases Microcapsule wall mateπal is thereby formed at the interface of the water and oil phases

In an alternative embodiment the emulsifier is nonionic Preferably the nonionic emulsifier is selected from polyalkylene glycol ether, condensation products of alkyl phenols, aliphatic alcohols, or fatty acids with alkylene oxide, ethoxylated alkyl phenols, ethoxylated arylphenols, ethoxylated polyaryl phenols, carboxyhc esters solubihzed with a polyol, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, or copolymers of polyvinyl alcohol polyvinyl acetate, polyacrylamide, poly(7V-isopropylacrylamide), poly(2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate), poly(2- ethyl-2-oxazoline), poly(2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline-co-methyl methacrylate), poly(methyl vinyl ether), and polyvinyl alcohol-co-ethylene). Especially useful polyvinylalcohols include polyvinyl alcohols of molecular weight 13000 to 186000 daltons, preferably from 13000 to about 23000 daltons, or even from 146000 to 186000 daltons. The polyvinyl alcohol can be partially or fully hydrolyzed.

Polyvinyl alcohol partially hydrolyzed in the range of 85 to 95% hydrolyzed is preferred. Partially hydrolyzed polyvinylalcohol at 88% hydrolysis or less was useful, with about 88% hydrolysis being more preferred.

An exemplary zwitterionic emulsifier is cocoamidopropyl betaine.

The amount of emulsifier is anywhere from about 0.1 to about 40 percent by weight of all constituents, more preferably from 0.5 to about 10 percent, most preferably 0.5 to 5 percent by weight. Typically emulsifier is employed at 0.2 to about 10% by weight based on percentage of the total formulation.

Excluding solvent, the primary, secondary or tertiary amine acrylate or methacrylate and the multi-functional acrylate or methacrylate monomers are used in a relative ratio by weight of from about 0.1 :99.9 to about 10:90 preferably from about 0.5:99.5 to about 5:95, and most preferably 1 :99 to about 3:97. The ratio of the amine to the multifunctional acrylate is in the range of from 0.1 :99.9 to 10:90. Therefore the amine can be in the range of from 0.1 to 10% by weight as compared to the multifunctional acrylate, or even from 0.5 to 5%, or most preferably 1 to 3% by weight.

After solvent, the amine modified polyfunctional polyvinyl monomer and the oil soluble bi- or poly functional vinyl monomers are the larger constituents by weight used in a relative ratio of from about 0.5: 1 to about 1 :3 preferably from about 1 : 1 to about 1 :2.

The average molecular weight of the monomers initially is in the hundreds of daltons. For the oligomer molecular weights are in the thousands to tens of thousands of daltons. Prepolymers accordingly are higher molecular weight still. Prepolymers are an intermediate block of oligomers and monomers eventually forming a polymer. The monomer or oligomers should be selected to be soluble or dispersible in the oil phase.

For example, assuming a system of about 600 grams with solvent, the largest constitutents are typically solvent, 10 to 70 weight percent, preferably 35 to 65 weight percent oil phase solvent and oil; 10 to 70 weight percent, preferably 35 to 65 weight percent water; 0.1 to 20 weight percent, usually 0.5 to 8 weight percent preferably 2 to 6 weight percent, bi- or polyfunctional vinyl monomer or oligomer; oil to 20 weight percent, usually 0.5 to 8 weight percent, preferably 2 to about 4 weight percent, amine modified amine modified polyfunctional monomer or oligomer Initiator is 10% or less, usually about 1 % or less, preferably 0 5% by weight or less and more preferably 0 1 % or less

The microencapsulation process in certain of the embodiments is believed to rely on the organic acid for formation of a changed species that drives the wall material to the oil water interface Charged species may also be formed through the use of an oil-soluble organic acidic acrylate or methacrylate with an inorganic water-soluble base, or an oil-soluble organic amine acrylate or methacrylate with an inorganic water-soluble base Oil-soluble acids or bases may also be utilized, as appropriate, for neutralization of the acrylate or methacrylate acids or bases

The size of the capsules can be controlled by adjusting the speed of agitation Smaller size dispersions are achieved through faster agitation resulting in smaller capsules

Emulsifying agents or protective colloids can be conveniently employed to facilitate dispersion Such materials for example include carboxylated or partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol, methyl cellulose, and various latex materials, stearates, lecithins, and various surfactants

The microcapsules according to the invention can be used to microencapsulate various core materials such as chromogens and dyes, flavorants, perfumes, sweeteners, fragrances, oils, waxes, silicone oils, softening agents, vitamins, fats, pigments, cleaning oils, pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical oils, perfume oils, mold inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, adhesives, phase change materials, scents, fertilizers, nutrients, and herbicides by way of illustration and without limitation

Microencapsulation can facilitate processing by increasing particle size or by converting liquids into free flowing solids The largest volume applications of microcapsules are in imaging systems such as carbonless papers

The microcapsule wall can serve the purpose of extending shelf life, stabilize and protect the core material, mask strong flavors, or protect contents so that they are available to participate in reactions such as imaging or adhesive formation when the capsule wall is ruptured, sheared, fractured, broken or melted

The core matenal can be a minor or major constituent of the material encapsulated by the microcapsules If the core material can function as the oil or water solvent in the capsules, it is possible to make the core matenal the major or total matenal encapsulated Usually however, the core material is from 0 01 to 99 weight percent of the capsule internal contents, preferably 0 01 to about 65 by weight of the capsule internal contents, and more preferably from 0 1 to about 45% by weight of the capsule internal contents With certain especially potent materials, the core can be at just trace quantities

In the process of the invention a first composition is prepared as an oil phase #1 The temperature of this oil phase is brought to a wall pre-reaction temperature A nitrogen blanket is preferably employed and the solution mixed with high shear agitation to disperse the droplets Gradually the temperature is increased to create a first composition reaction product

A second oil phase is prepared and may be held at a pre-reaction temperature of the initiator

The two oil solutions are allowed to pre-react and are combined The mixtures are stirred and held at the pre-reaction temperature for sufficient time to pre-react the wall material After the pre-reaction step, the water phase is added to the oil solutions

The following is an illustration of preferred ranges with particular emulsifiers Proportions are by weight

For Cationic Capsule Type (Polyethyleneimine emulsifier)

Charged Materials (acid and base total quantity)

Preferably 0 1-20 0% by weight of total wall

More Preferably 0 5-10 0%

Most Preferably 1 0-5 0% Acid/Base Molar proportions

Preferably 3/1- 1/3

More Preferably 2/1-1/2

Most Preferably 1 25/1-1/1 25 Water Phase pH Preferably: 6-12 More Preferably 7-1 1 Most Preferably: 8- 10

More Preferably: 0.5- 10.0%

Most Preferably: 1.0-5.0% Acid/Base Molar Proportions:

Preferably: 3/1-1/3

More Preferably: 2/1-1/2

Most Preferably: 1.25/1-1/1.25

After wall pre-reaction, a water phase is prepared and added carefully to the oil solution. The solutions are milled and heated for a sufficient time to allow wall deposition to proceed. This process is further illustrated and explained in the examples.

Microcapsule particles according to the invention, by selection of curing conditions, wall materials, initiators, and concentration can select for a desired permeance level allowing formation of capsules with more targeted release profiles appropriate to the end use application. The process of the invention enables manufacture of capsules with different permeability levels. Permeability is conveniently expressed as release of less than a certain quantity of core material over a given time frame. For example, low permeability would be release of less than 1.0 mg/ml at 48 hours extraction time, or less than 2 mg/ml at 1 week extraction time or less than 5 mg/ml at four weeks extraction time. The desired end use application often will dictate the target release rate deemed acceptable to meet the needs of the application. Slurry/Aggolmerate

The inventive composition may be delivered in the form of a foam Such an embodiment requires the use of a foaming agent, such as surfactants (e g , anionic, non-ionic, cationic and amphoteric), proteins (e.g., enzymes), cellulosic materials, polymeric materials and mixtures thereof. Suitable polymeric materials include hydrophilic polymers, such as, agar-agar, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate and sodium dodecyl sulphate-poly(ethylene oxide). A preferred polymeric material is a hydrophobically-modified alkali soluble emulsion polymer synthesized through an emulsion polymerization process from an acid/acrylate copolymer backbone and a monomer that connects the hydrophobic groups as side chains. An example of such a material is Aculyn™ 22, commercially available from Rohm Haas, which is synthesized from acrylic acid, acrylate esters and a steareth-20 methacrylate ester. Another preferred polymer is an anionic alkali-soluble polymer emulsion synthesized from acid and acrylate comonomers through emulsion polymerization. An example of such a material is Aculyn™ 33, commercially available from Rohm Haas. Other foaming agents include cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose, PEG 7M, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, Carbomer and polyquaternium-55. Mixtures of these materials may be used.

As used herein "foam" means a hair colorant composition which after being passed through a manually-actuable, non-aerosol dispenser has a foam specific volume from about 6 to about 14 ml/g, such as about 7.5 ml/g to about 12ml/g, or even from about 8 to about 10.5 ml/g.

Acceptable foam characteristics in hair colorant composition are exemplified by foam that holds its shape and stays in a consistent form. The minimum time for this is at least long enough to transfer from a user's hand to the desired location on the hair, e.g. the foam substantially maintains its shape for at least 15 seconds, for example at least 20, or at least 30 seconds. It could be longer if a quantity of foam, e.g. a bowl full by a hair dresser, is generated and spreading on the head only starts once the bowl full is readily made.

If foam collapses prematurely and becomes liquid-like (or some liquid is forming a puddle in the hand below the foam) any movement of the user's hand causes the foam to run, drip or otherwise move from the user's hand before the foam reaches the desired location and is considered undesirable.

The foam is suitable when formed when the composition is used with a manually-actable, non- aerosol dispenser where the composition is mixed with air such that the ratio of air to composition is from about 1 :6 to about 1 : 15, from about 1 :8 to about 1 : 12, or about 1 : 10. A suitable manually-actuable, non-aerosol dispenser structure include the dimensions of the dip tube, dimensions of the air ingress into the mixing chamber, mixing chamber dimensions, including the ingress and egress orifices from the mixing chamber, dispensing channel dimensions, porous elements (such as screens or meshes) and dispensing head orifice

TEST METHODS

It is understood that the test methods that are disclosed in the Test Methods Section of the present application should be used to determine the respective values of the parameters of Applicants' invention as such invention is described and claimed herein

(1 ) Median Particle Size

Particle size is measured using an Accusizer 780A, made by Particle Sizing Systems, Santa Barbara CA The instrument is calibrated from 0 to 300μ using Duke particle size standards Samples for particle size evaluation are prepared by diluting about Ig of capsule slurry in about 5g of de-ionized water and further diluting about Ig of this solution in about 25g of water

About Ig of the most dilute sample is added to the Accusizer and the testing initiated, using the autodilution feature The Accusizer should be reading in excess of 9200 counts/second If the counts are less than 9200 additional sample should be added The accusizer will dilute the test sample until 9200 counts/second and initiate the evaluation After 2 minutes of testing the Accusizer will display the results, including volume- weighted median size

The broadness index can be calculated by determining the particle size at which 95% of the cumulative particle volume is exceeded (95% size), the particle size at which 5% of the cumulative particle volume is exceeded (5% size), and the median volume-weighted particle size (50% size— 50% of the particle volume both above and below this size) Broadness Index (5) = ((95% size)-(5% size)/50% size)

(2) Fracture Strength Test Method a ) Place 1 gram of particles in 1 liter of distilled deionized (DI) water b ) Permit the particles to remain in the DI water for 10 minutes and then recover the particles by filtration, using a 60 mL syπnge filter, 1 2 micron nitrocellulose filter (Millipore, 25mm diameter) c ) Determine the rupture force of 50 individual particles The rupture force of a particle is determined using the procedure given in Zhang, Z , Sun, G, "Mechanical Properties of Melamine-Formaldehyde microcapsules," J Microencapsulation, vol 18, no 5, pages 593-602, 2001 Then calculate the fracture strength of each particle by dividing the rupture force (in Newtons) by the cross-sectional area of the respective spherical particle (πr², where r is the radius of the particle before compression), said cross-sectional area being determined as follows measuring the particle size of each individual particle using the experimental apparatus and method of Zhang, Z , Sun, G, "Mechanical Properties of Melamine-Formaldehyde microcapsules," J Microencapsulation, vol 18, no 5, pages 593-602, 2001 d ) Use the 50 independent measurements from c ) above, and calculate the percentage of particles having a fracture strength within the claimed range fracture strength range

(3) Procedure for Determination of Zeta Potential

Supplies needed

Disposable 10 mL syringes

1 millimolar solution of NaCl/deionized water

Transfer pi pets

Syπnge filter with 25mm/30 um filter paper Equipment: Malvern Zetasizer, Malvern Instruments Ltd. Model DTS 5300

Procedure a) Rinse Malvern with deionized water by filling a syringe and inserting the tip into the inlet valve. Repeat for a total of 3 rinses with water. b) Rinse again, using 1 millimolar solution of NaCL/H^O. Repeat 3 times. c) Prepare sample by weighing out 20 g NaCl solution into a disposable beaker. Add 2 drops of capsules (for 20 um size capsules — larger capsules add addition drops). Swirl to mix and draw up a syringe-full. Assemble syringe filter with 30 um paper and filter the capsule solution into another disposable beaker. Using a clean syringe, draw up filtered solution and inject into Malvern. d) Record data generated by Malvern Zetasizer. Five readings are made per prepared sample. Rinse instrument between samples. Record values of KCps, Mobility, and Width.

(4) Procedure for Capsule Retention

Sample Preparation

Substrate Sample: A sample of the substrate for evaluation (typically a fabric), is placed over the inner hoop of an embroidery hoop. The outer hoop is placed over the sample and the inner hoop, the outer hoop is tightened partially, the substrate is pulled tight in the hoop set by pulling the substrate edges, and the outer hoop is fully tightened to securely hold the substrate sample. Excess sample is cut from the edges of the hoop and discarded.

The substrate is chosen to be cotton fabric, 250 thread count.

Capsule Retention Bath: The capsule retention test is done using a 2000 mL glass beaker as the bath in which the substrate sample is submerged. The beaker is filled to about 1500 mL for all testing. The substrate sample, suspended on an embroidery hoop is placed into the beaker, with the top of the sample just below the liquid level and the bottom of the sample just above a magnetic stir bar that is run to keep movement in the fluid.

Sample Pre -Rinse: A substrate sample is suspended in de-ionized water in the capsule retention bath for 10 minutes to rinse away any fiber fragments, dust, dirt, or water- soluble surface treatments that may exist on the substrate surface. After 10 minutes in the retention bath, the sample is removed and air-dried for 10 minutes.

Microcapsule Retention: Microcapsules are added to a fresh 1500 rnL of de-ionized for the microcapsule retention test. The total weight of microcapsules (dry basis) is about 50% of the substrate weight (0.65g capsules, 1.25g substrate). The substrate is re- suspended in the retention bath for another 10 minutes. The sample is removed, allowed to dry on the hoop for about 1 hour and is then removed and allowed to air-dry at least 4 hours total.

Extraction Samples: After the retention sample has been air-dried, 2-1" by 3.125" samples are cut from it, using a steel template and razor blade. This provides replicate test samples for the subsequent extraction testing.

EXAMPLES

While particular embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it would be obvious to those skilled in the art that various other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is therefore intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that are within the scope of this invention.

EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of Oil Phases and Pre-Reaction of Wall Material:

A first oil phase, consisting of 5Og cedar oil, 0.65g TBAEMA, and 0.52g Beta-C, is mixed for about 1 hour before the addition of 26g CN997. The solution is allowed to mix until needed later in the batch.

A second oil solution consisting of 20Og of cedar oil, 1.56g Vazo-52 and 0.52g Vazo-67 is added to a jacketed steel reactor. The reactor is held at 35⁰C, and the oil solution is mixed at 1000 rpm with a 2" 4-tip flat blade mixer. A nitrogen blanket is applied to the reactor at a rate of 300 cc/min. The solution is heated to 75⁰C in 45 minutes and held at 75⁰C for 35 minutes, before cooling to 55⁰C in 75 minutes. At 55⁰C, the first oil phase is added, and the combined oils are mixed for another 70 minutes at 55⁰C.

Water Phase Preparation

A water phase, containing 30g of Colloid 351 , 1.1 g 20% NaOH, 60Og water, and 1.56g Vazo-68WSP, is prepared and mixed until the Vazo is dissolved. The water-phase pH is measured and the solution mixed until needed for batch preparation. The water phase pH for this batch is 4.58. Capsule Batch Preparation

Once the oil phase temperature has decreased to 55°C, mixing is stopped and the water phase is added to the batch via funnel (to prevent premature mixing of the phases) Mixing is restarted at an appropπate speed to produce an emulsion with the desired size characteristics In this particular case, mixing is done at 3000 rpm for 20 minutes and 2000 rpm for 40 minutes

When milling is completed, mixing is done with a 3" propeller run at about 400 rpm The batch is held at 55°C for another 45 minutes, then the temperature is increased to 75°C in 30 minutes, held at 75°C for 4 hours, increased to 90°C in 30 minutes, and held at 90°C for 8 hours The batch is allowed to cool to room temperature at the completion of the heating cycle The finished batch has a volume- weighted median size of 12 2μ

Examples 2 to 25 in Table 1 are similarly prepared Batch preparation methods are similar to those described in Example 1 with the exceptions stated in Table 1 Water phase pH is adjusted up or down as necessary using either 20% NaOH or concentrated HCl For examples 6 and 7, milling is continued throughout the batch due to emulsion instability duπng capsule wall formation Example 15 and 16 are identical capsules, but for Example 16 the capsule batch pH is adjusted to pH 4 Examples 19 and 20 are similar In Example 20, the capsule retention study conditions are first adjusted to pH 4 Example 25 is a melamine-formaldehyde wall capsule, shown for comparative purposes

A target weight of 300 grams of the above composition is prepared with the use of a conventional overhead stirrer (IKA® RW20DZM Stirrer available from IKA® Works, Inc , Wilmington, DE) and a hot plate (Corning Incorporated Life Sciences, Lowell, MA) Into an appropriately sized and cleaned vessel, the distilled water and glycenn are added with stirπng at 100- 150 rpm The cationic polymer, when present, is then slowly added with constant stirring until homogenous The polyvinyl alcohol is weighed into a suitable container and slowly added to the main mixture in small increments using a spatula while continuing to stir while avoiding the formation of visible lumps The mixing speed is adjusted to minimize foam formation The mixture is slowly heated to 8O⁰C after which surfactants are added The mixture is then heated to 85⁰C while continuing to stir and then allowed to cool to room temperature Additional distilled water is added to compensate for water lost to evaporation (based on the oπginal tare weight of the container) The final pH is between 5 2 - 6 6 and adjusted with citric acid or diluted sodium hydroxide if necessary The resulting processing mixture viscosity is measured

A porous dissolvable solid substrate (also referred to in the examples herein as "substrate") is prepared from the above liquid processing mixture as described in Table 2 below Table 2

300 grams of the processing mixture is stored within a convection oven for greater than two hours at 7O⁰C to pre-heat the processing mixture The mixture is then transferred into a pre- heated 5 quart stainless steel bowl (by placing into 7O⁰C oven for greater than 15 minutes) of a KITCHENAID® Mixer Model K5SS (available from Hobart Corporation, Troy, OH) fitted with a fiat beater attachment and with a water bath attachment compπsing tap water at 70-75⁰C The mixture is vigorously aerated at a maximum speed setting of 10 until a wet density of approximately 0 26 grams/cm³ is achieved (time recorded in table) The density is measured by weighing a filling a cup with a known volume and evenly scraping off the top of the cup with a spatula The resulting aerated mixture is then spread with a spatula into square 160 mm x 160 mm aluminum molds with a depth of 6 5 mm with the excess wet foam being removed with the straight edge of a large metal spatula that is held at a 45° angle and slowly dragged uniformly across the mold surface The aluminum molds are then placed into a 13O⁰C convection oven for approximately 35 to 45 minutes The molds are allowed to cool to room temperature with the substantially dry porous dissolvable solid substrates removed from the molds with the aid of a thin spatula and tweezers

Each of the resulting 160 mm x 160 mm square substrates is cut into nine 43 mm x 43 mm squares (with rounded edges) using a cutting die and a Samco SB20 cutting machine (each square representing surface area of approximately 16 9 cm²) The resulting smaller substrates are then equilibrated overnight ( 14 hours) in a constant environment room kept at 7O⁰F and 50% relative humidity within large zip-lock bags that are left open to the room atmosphere

Within a fume hood, the substrate is mounted on a stainless steel easel that rests at about a 60 degree angle and with notches holding the substrate from sliding downward and with a hole in plate so that the substrate can easily be removed from the mount by pushing from the easel It is important that the top surface of the substrate (the side that is exposed to the air in the drying oven and opposite the side that is in direct contact with the aluminum mold during the drying process) is facing away from the easel A small glass bottle with a pump spray is filled with the primary fragrance oil 1 a and then sprayed onto the surface of the substrate from a distance of 2 to 3 inches The substrate is then removed from the easel and returned to the weigh boat on the balance with the top side facing upwards The weight of perfume applied is recorded and in the instance that the target weight is not achieved, either another spray amount is applied or a Kim wipe to absorb excess perfume away from the substrate This iterative process is repeated until the target weight range is achieved The amount of fragrance I a applied is recorded in the below table The resulting substrate resting on the small weigh boat is stored within a zip-lock bag and sealed from the atmosphere The above process is repeated on a second substrate The first substrate within its weigh boat is later removed from the zip-lock bag and tared again to zero weight on a 4 place weigh balance A perfume microcapsule of Example 3 is then applied to the surface of each substrate The substrate is coated with the perfume microcapsule by gently shaking the substrate in a tray (or other suitable container) containing an excess of the perfume inclusion complex in a side-to-side manner ten times (the process is repeated for the other side) The resulting coated substrate is then picked up (with gloved hands) and gently shaken and tapped several times to remove any excess powder that is not sufficiently adhered to the substrate The resulting weight of the microcapsule of the secondary fragrance applied is recorded in the below table The porous substrate within its weigh boat is then returned the zip lock bag and sealed from the atmosphere This powder application process is repeated for the second substrate
