  • MICRO- OR NANOCAPSULES HAVING PHOTOCATALYTIC PROPERTIES FOR CONTROLLED RELEASE OF DIFFUSING AGENTS AND RESPECTIVE METHOD OF PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20180243717
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the production of functional coatings for the controlled release of volatile agents. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to capsules, in particular microcapsules or nanocapsules, chemically functionalised with photocatalytic nanomaterials upon the internal or external surface of the wall of the capsule. The capsule, by solar action or artificial light, can have the same spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, and can release an active agent. The capsule can also transport the active agent, which has photocatalytic properties. The capsule has an external diameter of 0.1-500 ?m and can be formed by a wall and a nucleus to lodge the active agent.
