Abstract: The present application provides hydrogel microcapsules, particularly, canonized hydrogel microcapsules having improved substantivity. This application further relates to the use of hydrogel microcapsules for delivering encapsulated actives in a wide range of industries and applications including: agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics industry, personal care products, laundering detergents, homecare & cleaning products, dish washing detergents, oral care, dental care, textiles, paper, mining, oil industry, water treatment, adhesives, coatings, plastics, sealants, construction, paints, inks and dyes onto different substrate surfaces such as skin, hair, textiles.

Abstract: A capsule having an encapsulated material and a capsule wall encapsulating the encapsulated material. The capsule wall includes a N-acetylglucosamine/glucosamine copolymer or a derivative of such a copolymer, wherein the N-acetylglucosamine/glucosamine copolymer or a derivative of such a copolymer is derived from a raw material which has a non-animal origin. The capsules have significant compression resistance while minimizing the amount of polymer incorporated into the capsule wall and are advantageously stable in a range of products including when associated with commercially available protease containing, biological liquid laundry products.

Abstract: A method of shale inhibition comprises adding a two-phase polymer system of a water soluble copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone and dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide and in-situ formed water-insoluble particles of said copolymer, or, alternatively, a water-soluble copolymer of methylvinyl ether and maleic anhydride, into a drilling well fluid under aqueous, high temperature, high salinity conditions.

Abstract: An inkjet-receptive coating composition for efficacious inkjet printing which is a synergistic composition of swellable, water-insoluble polyvinylpolypyrrolidone particles and (fumed) silica or silica gel particles.
