  • Patent number: 10920177
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions of benefit agent containing delivery particles and slurries comprising benefit agent containing delivery particles, compositions comprising the particles, and processes for making and using the aforementioned particles and compositions. Such slurries and benefit agent containing delivery particles are stable and when employed in compositions, for example, cleaning or fabric care compositions, the particles in such slurries increase the efficiency of benefit agent delivery, thereby 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. The compositions can comprise particles, cakes, powders, particulates, aggregates, aggregate clusters and slurries comprising the benefit agent containing delivery particles.

  • Patent number: 10901315
    Abstract: A photosensitive microcapsule having a shell encapsulating a core material. The core material can comprise a benefit agent and the shell can comprise a photosensitive polymer. The photosensitive polymer can include one or more photosensitive moieties having a substituted amine and a 1,3 dione moiety. The core material can be released from the photosensitive microcapsule upon exposure to an electromagnetic radiation field selected from the group consisting of infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation and mixtures thereof.
