Patent number: 8715544Abstract: A process of forming a population of microcapsules is described comprising a liquid hydrophilic core material and a wall material at least partially surrounding the core material. The liquid hydrophilic core material can be anionic, cationic, or neutral but polar. The microcapsule population is formed by providing liquid hydrophilic core material; providing an oil continuous phase which is low boiling and preferably nonflammable, the oil continuous phase comprising preferably one or more organic oil materials such as esters with chain length up to about 42 carbons. A mixture is formed by dispersing the liquid hydrophilic material in the oil continuous phase. Either an oil soluble or dispersible monofunctional amine acrylate or monofunctional amine methacrylate, along with acid; or alternatively monofunctional acid acrylate or monofunctional acid methacrylate along with base; or alternatively, monofunctional amine acrylate or monofunctional amine methacrylate along with acid acrylate or methacrylate; is added.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2010Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Appvion, Inc.Inventor: Todd Arlin Schwantes

Publication number: 20130245153Abstract: A process of forming microcapsules is described. The microcapsule population is formed by providing an anionic or cationic, solid hydrophilic core material; providing an oil continuous phase, the oil continuous phase comprising one or more esters with chain length up to about 18 carbons. Emulsification is achieved by subjecting the mixture to high shear agitation and heating the mixture for a time sufficient to enable acid or amine acrylate or methacrylate and multifunctional acrylate or methacrylate to form a prepolymer which migrates to the anionic or cationic solid hydrophilic material, thereby forming prepolymers adhered to the hydrophilic core materials. Temperature is held or heating continued for a time sufficient to enable the prepolymer to flow onto and coalesce into a continuous film surface coating on the hydrophilic core material. Heating is carried out or light exposure or both for a time and temperature sufficient to cross link the prepolymers.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2013Publication date: September 19, 2013Inventor: Todd Arlin Schwantes

Patent number: 7985445Abstract: A novel method of forming water in oil microcapsules is disclosed. According to the invention microcapsules are obtained by steps comprising dispersing an oil soluble amine modified polyfunctional polyvinyl monomer and an oil soluble bi- or polyfunctional vinyl monomer along with a thermal or UV free radical initiator (optionally included in one or both of the oil or water phases) and an organic acid into an internal phase oil; heating or UV exposing for a time (and temperature) sufficient to oligomerize the amine modified polyfunctional polyvinyl monomer and oil soluble bi- or polyfunctional vinyl monomer forming a pre-polymer. Thereafter the process involves adding to the oil phase oil a water phase comprising a dispersion in water of an anionic emulsifier (and optionally initiator), and adding an emulsifying agent. Emulsifying the water phase into the oil phase (W/O) is controlled through the quantity of water employed.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2010Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Appleton Papers Inc.Inventors: Todd Arlin Schwantes, Peggy Dorothy Sands
