  • Custom-Tailored Sol-Gel Derived Matrixes for Chemical Immobilization
    Publication number: 20200139332
    Abstract: A process for preparing microcapsules has an interconnected porous microsphere matrix The matrix includes at least one metal oxide and/or inorganic polymer. The microcapsules are obtained by a sol-gel process which involves preparing a first solution being a water-in-oil emulsion and adding to the emulsion a second acidic aqueous pre-hydrolyzed metal precursor solution and/or an organic polymer solution.

  • Biocidal Microcapsules for Biofouling Control
    Publication number: 20200029558
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to bioactive microcapsules and to the process for their production. More in particular, the present invention relates to the production of bioactive microcapsules, or porous microspheres by a water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion method combined with interfacial polymerization, involving the full or partial covalent immobilization of biocides and/or modified biocides within the microcapsules shell, or porous microspheres. In addition, the present invention further relates to the use of said bioactive microcapsules/microspheres for controlled release of biocides in antifouling application and their incorporation in matrices such as marine coatings.
