Patent number: 9205395Abstract: Disclosed are encapsulating methods and encapsulated products. A payload material may be encapsulated within a wall material. The carrier material and payload material form a combination that is at least substantially solid at room temperature but that is sufficiently fluid at milling temperature to permit milling and subsequent encapsulation. The payload material may be, for instance, a bitter tasting material. In some embodiments, the microcapsules will serve a taste masking function. In other embodiments, the microcapsules may be used where a slow release of the payload material is desired.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2010Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Encapsys, LLCInventor: Nianxi Yan

Patent number: 8968872Abstract: Microcapsules comprising an agglomeration of primary microcapsules, each individual primary microcapsule having a primary shell and the agglomeration being encapsulated by an outer shell, may be prepared by providing an aqueous mixture of a loading substance and a shell material, adjusting pH, temperature, concentration and/or mixing speed to form primary shells of shell material around the loading substance and cooling the aqueous mixture until the primary shells agglomerate and an outer shell of shell material forms around the agglomeration. Such microcapsules are useful for storing a substance and for delivering the substance to a desired environment.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2010Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: DSM Nutritional Products AGInventor: Nianxi Yan

Patent number: 8940395Abstract: The present invention relates to benefit agent containing delivery particles, compositions comprising said particles, and processes for making and using the aforementioned particles and compositions. When employed in compositions, for example, cleaning or fabric care compositions, such particles increase the efficiency of benefit agent delivery, there by allowing reduced amounts of benefit agents to be employed. In addition to allowing the amount of benefit agent to be reduced, such particles allow a broad range of benefit agents to be employed.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2013Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Johan Smets, Jiten Odhavji Dihora, An Pintens, Sandra Jacqueline Guinebretiere, Adam Keith Druckrey, Peggy Dorothy Sands, Nianxi Yan

Publication number: 20140371343Abstract: A paint composition, which comprises a stanchion-encapsulated pigment such as titanium dioxide, can provide enhanced paint quality with reduced cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2014Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventors: Nianxi YAN, John Charles DEBRAAL
-
Publication number: 20140370271Abstract: A coated paper with enhanced properties and/or lower cost can be obtained by using a coating that contains a binder and stanchion-encapsulated titanium dioxide. The stanchion-encapsulated titanium dioxide can provide the same or similar brightness, gloss, and/or opacity while using less titanium dioxide.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2013Publication date: December 18, 2014Applicant: Appvion, Inc.Inventors: Nianxi Yan, John Charles Debraal
-
Publication number: 20140370272Abstract: A particle composition includes one or more particles comprising a pigment material and a polymeric coating layer at least partially surrounding the pigment particle and stanchions for particle to particle bridging extending from the coating layer. The particle composition can further include discrete particle separators between the particles of pigment material. The stanchions and particle separators contribute to a reduced particle density in the particle composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2014Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventors: Nianxi YAN, John Charles DEBRAAL
