  • Process for preparing silicate shell microcapsules
    Patent number: 9192549
    Abstract: A process for preparing silicate shell microcapsules comprises adding a water reactive silicon compound to an oil in water emulsion, thereby condensing and polymerizing the water reactive silicon compound to form silicate shell microcapsules having a core comprising the oil phase of the said emulsion. The water reactive silicon compound comprises a tetraalkoxysilane and an alkoxysilane having an amino or quaternary ammonium substituted alkyl group.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 6, 2015
    Date of Patent: November 24, 2015
