  • Patent number: 12146124
    Abstract: Populations of benefit agent delivery particles are disclosed, the particles having a core and a shell encapsulating the core, the shell comprising certain multifunctional (meth)acrylate-based polymers, along with processes for making and uses of such compositions. The delivery particle has a core to polymer wall ratio by weight from about 96:4 to about 99.5 to 0.5 and a volume-weighted particle size from about 30 to about 50 microns. The compositions deliver core content with a desired delivery profile, such as fragrance delivery at desired touchpoints with higher efficiency. The delivery particle has high pay load, yet exhibits decreased benefit agent leakage, and provides a desired delivery profile.

  • Publication number: 20240206461
    Abstract: Compositions comprising a population of delivery particles comprising a core and a polymer wall surrounding the core are disclosed. The delivery particles are obtainable by a process comprising the steps of providing core materials and wall-forming materials, and encapsulating the core materials in the polymer wall. The wall-forming materials comprise structural monomers and a free radical initiating agent. The core materials comprise a benefit agent and a shielding agent. The benefit agent comprises aldehyde-containing benefit agents, ketone-containing benefit agents, or a combination thereof. The shielding agent is capable of complexing with the aldehyde-containing benefit agents, ketone-containing benefit agents, or a combination thereof. The population of core/shell delivery particles formed has a weight ratio of the core materials and the wall polymer of at least 95:5. Related articles, methods of making and using such compositions and articles are also disclosed.
