Patent number: 4534783Abstract: This invention relates to a process for encapsulation, and particularly to the production of small or minute capsules constituted by a skin or thin wall of polymeric material e.g., polyurea, polyamide, polysulfonamide, polyester, polycarbonate, or polyurethane, which involves first providing an organic liquid (continuous phase liquid) containing an oil soluble alkylated polyvinylpyrrolidone emulsifier A discontinuous (aqueous) phase liquid containing a water-soluble material, which is the material to be encapsulated, plus a first shell wall component; is dispersed in the continuous phase liquid to form a water-in-oil emulsion. The second shell wall component is added to the water-in-oil emulsion whereupon the first shell wall component reacts with the second shell wall component to form a solid polymeric shell wall about the material to be encapsulated. The capsules formed may be directly used as in the form of an organic suspension, i.e., a suspension of microcapsules in the organic liquid.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1984Date of Patent: August 13, 1985Assignee: Monsanto Co.Inventor: George B.
