将聚[2-(甲基丙烯酰氧)乙基三甲基氯化铵](PMTC)和阿拉伯胶(GA)在一定条件下进行了复凝聚,并对影响复凝聚实验的壁材配比、壁材浓度、离子强度等因素进行了考察.实验结果表明,PMTC与GA配比为1/3.22,壁材总浓度为4%时复凝聚效率最高;体系中不同浓度的氯化钠的存在会对复凝聚起到不同程度的抑制作用.在实验确定的最佳复凝聚条件下以有机小分子化合物十二醇作为芯材进行了包覆,制备了不同壁芯比例的微胶囊.对微胶囊的包覆率及载药量进行了测量,并对它们的释放行为进行了考察.包覆有十二醇的复合微胶囊大小一般在几微米.随着壁材与芯材比例的增大,胶囊载药量逐渐降低,微胶囊释放十二醇的速率明显变小,但包覆率却无明显变化规律.     

昆虫激素十二醇微胶囊的制备与释放行为研究

利用昆虫雌性激素对昆虫进行干扰交配是近年来使用的一种新技术,可替代农药杀虫剂达到高选择性无毒无药灭害的目的。迄今为止的相关研究及应用技术都是使用载有昆虫激素的棉条、纸片、塑胶管等装置,以一定密度置于果园或农田。十二醇是较为简单的一个存在于多种昆虫的雌性激素中化合物。本文首次探索使用聚合物微球水分散体系将昆虫激素十二醇(C12OH)包覆在聚合物微球中,通过改变水分散体系的制备方法、复合微球壁的交联度等探讨了此类体系对C12OH的可控释放。本工作首先通过测定阿拉伯胶明胶复凝聚过程的透光率、ζ电位,确定了阿拉伯胶-明胶的重量配比为1时可达最大复凝聚。在此基础上,制备了一系列不同交联剂戊二醛含量的复合微胶囊。结果表明微胶囊壁材的交联度随交联剂量明显上升,其对C12OH的包覆率经1%戊二醛交联后即提高至未交联体系的约三倍。但进一步提高戊二醛的含量,虽然胶囊的交联度仍明显上升,但对C12OH的包覆率基本保持恒定。使用同样量的甲醛可达同样交联效果,但对C12OH的包覆率有明显提高。在恒温恒湿条件下对各胶囊的C12OH释放行为进行了表征,结果显示交联胶囊可明显提高C12OH的恒速释放时间,交联度越高,恒速释放越稳定。本工作表明通过本方法确实可以达到将昆虫激素包覆在聚合物颗粒中并达到可控释放。     

单凝聚与复凝聚法制备昆虫激素十二醇微胶囊及其释放行为

通过向明胶溶液中加入硫酸钠溶液的单凝聚方法以及将明胶溶液加入到阿拉伯胶溶液的复凝聚方法,制备了聚合物包覆昆虫激素十二醇的水分散体系微胶囊.通过对凝聚过程中ζ电位与透光率跟踪测试确定了单凝聚中加入硫酸钠的最佳用量以及复凝聚中明胶与阿拉伯胶的相对量.在壁材浓度大于或等于3%条件下制备的复凝聚胶囊的尺寸大于单凝聚微胶囊,但后者的大小分布更均一.除非在2%壁材浓度下,其他条件下复凝聚制备的胶囊的十二醇包覆率明显高于单凝聚胶囊.对胶囊中十二醇在恒湿恒温条件下的释放研究表明,单凝聚胶囊中十二醇很快释放完毕,变化壁材浓度不明显改变其释放行为.相比之下复凝聚胶囊中十二醇的释放对壁材浓度有明显的依赖性.2%壁材浓度制备的胶囊其释放行为类似于单凝聚胶囊;但3%到5%壁材浓度制备的胶囊中十二醇的释放明显分为3个区间,即较快的初始释放、较长时间的恒速释放以及最后阶段释放速率的再次提高直至释放完毕.复凝聚胶囊中十二醇的释放表现出了明显的可控性.文中亦对该体系中昆虫激素十二醇的释放机理作了初步讨论.     

Preparation of PCM microcapsules by complex coacervation of silk fibroin and chitosan

Phase change material microcapsules were prepared by complex coacervation of silk fibroin (SF) and chitosan (CHI). n-Eicosane was used as the core material. The effects of SF/CHI ratio, and percentage of cross-linking agent and n-Eicosane content on the properties of microcapsules were studied. The size distribution and the surface morphology of microcapsules were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy. The encapsulation of core material was determined by energy dispersive spectrometer analysis. The results indicated that SF/CHI microcapsules were prepared successfully. Microcapsules had smooth outer surface when the ratio of SF to CHI was close to 5. On the other hand, at high SF/CHI ratios (≥14), microcapsules showed a two-layer structure, an inner compact layer, and an outer, more porous, sponge-like layer. The highest microencapsulation efficiency was obtained at a SF/CHI ratio of 20 in the presence of 0.9% cross-linking agent and of 1.5% n-Eicosane content.     

Preparation and properties of chitosan chondroitin sulfate complex microcapsules

The chitosan (CHS) chondroitin sulfate (CS) complex microcapsules were prepared by emulsion-chemical crosslink method, with the chitosan and chondroitin sulfate as the wall materials and the low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) as the core materials. The microcapsules were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (IR) spectrometry, scanning electron microscope (SEM), size distribution and thermal analysis. The in vitro drug release behavior of the microcapsules was studied by spectrophotometry. The SEM and size distribution showed that the microcapsules were in the spherical form mostly in the size range of 20-80 microm. The IR spectrum indicated that there were electrostatic interactions between chitosan and chondroitin sulfate, with the sulfate group and free carboxyl group reacted with the amino groups of chitosan. The DSC result showed that the wall materials could protect the core materials of the microcapsules. The results of the release kinetics experiments of the microcapsules showed that the drug released slightly faster in acid media than in alkali ones.

Permeability of dye through poly(urea-urethane) microcapsule membrane prepared from mixtures of di- and tri-isocyanate

Poly(urea-urethane) microcapsules were prepared by the interfacial polymerization with using mixtures of tri- and di-isocyanate monomers as wall forming materials, and dioctyl phthalate containing an oil-soluble dye as a core material. The time course of the dye release in dispersing tetrahydrofuran was measured as a function of the weight fraction of tri-isocyanate monomer in the total monomer w and the core/wall material-weight ratio g. The dye release curves were well represented by an exponential function C=Ceq(1-e-t/tau), where C is the concentration of the dye in the dispersing medium, Ceq that at equilibrium state, t the elution time and tau is a time constant. tau increased linearly against w at high g, suggesting controllability of the release rate of microcapsules by varying tri-isocyanate/di-isocyanate ratio.     

Microencapsulation of dichromate and paracetamol with Eudragit Retard polymers using phase separation by nonsolvent addition

A coacervation technique for microencapsulation using Eudragit Retard polymers [poly(methyl methacrylates) substituted by quaternary ammonium groups] as wall material is described, based upon phase separation using a cold chloroform-cyclohexane mixture together with polyisobutylene as a stabilizer. The effect of various parameters on the nature and properties of the microcapsules of potassium dichromate and paracetamol has been studied, in particular the alteration in wall content and structure and release rate of contents. The microcapsules are discrete, their properties are reproducible, and various degrees of sustained release are obtained.     

Study of Complex Coacervation of Gelatin A and Sodium Alginate for Microencapsulation of Olive Oil

Complex coacervation of gelatin A and sodium alginate was carried out to obtain the maximum coacervate yield. Turbidity and coacervate yield (%) measurements were carried out to support the ratio of the two polymers and pH that produced maximum coacervation. The optimum ratio between gelatin A-sodium alginate and pH to form the maximum coacervate complex was found to be 3.5:1 and 3.5–3.8, respectively. Olive oil microencapsulation was carried out at the optimized ratio and pH. Microcapsules were crosslinked by using glutaraldehyde. Scanning electron microscopy studies confirmed the formation of free flowing spherical microcapsules of different sizes. The size of microcapsules increased with the increase in the concentration of the polymer. The encapsulation efficiency and the release rates of olive oil were dependent on the amount of crosslinker, oil loading and polymer concentration. Thermogravimetric study revealed improvement of thermal stability with crosslinking. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy study showed that there was no significant interaction between olive oil and gelatin-alginate complex.     

Preparation and Release Behavior of Ethylcellulose Microcapsules Containing Theophylline Dispersed in Cellulose Triacetate Matrices

Using ethylcellulose and cellulose triacetate as co-wall materials, sustained release microcapsules of theophylline were prepared. The solid drug dispersed in the cellulose triacetate matrices was first prepared by solvent evaporation; then the matrices were microencapsulated by means of coacervation-phase separation of ethylcellulose from toluene solution on addition of petroleum ether. The shapes and surface characteristics of theophylline, matrices and microcapsules were examined with a scanning-electron microscope. The release of theophylline from various particles into distilled water was studied. The microcapsules had good characteristics of sustained release. The period for theophylline to dissolve from ethylcellulose microcapsules containing cellulose triacetate matrices was larger than those from only ethylcellulose microcapsules with a similar ratio of core to wall. The half-time increased with increasing content of cellulose triacetate. The release pattern which was analogous to that from only ethylcellulose microcapsules obeyed a first-order equation.     

Microencapsulation of Fish Oil by Simple Coacervation of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

To improve the oxidative stability and application of fish oil, it was microencapsulated by simple coacervation followed by spray drying. Simple coacervation took place by adding malt dextrin into the emulsion of fish oil and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose （HPMC） solution. Influences of several process parameters on the microencapsulation were evaluated and the oxidative stability and microstructure of microcapsules were analyzed. Results showed that the coacervation could be observed only when dextrose equivalent value （DE value） of malt dextrin, concentration of HPMC solution and fish oil percentage in microcapsules were no more than 20. 5% and 40%, respectively. Moreover, microencapsulation efficiency was higher at HPMC solution concentration of 4% and fish oil percentage of less than 30%. The oxidative stability of fish oil was improved by the microencapsulation and done best in the ease of replacing malt dextrin by 40% with acacia. Scanning electronic microscopic photographs showed that the microcapsule obtained was a round, smooth and hollow microcapsule with its wall made up of innumerable small and solid submicrocapsules with the core of fish oil.

Preparation of biodegradable microcapsules through an organic solvent‐free interfacial polymerization method

We prepared microcapsules through an organic solvent‐free interfacial polymerization method, which avoids the release of volatile organic compounds arising from conventional interfacial polymerization methods for microencapsulation. These microcapsules have single and narrow particle size distribution and are spherical pellets with smooth and intact shell, and own excellent biodegradability. Additionally, these biodegradable microcapsules have a higher encapsulation efficiency compared with the microcapsules prepared through conventional interfacial polymerization method and possess sustained and controlled release of core materials.     

Preparation and characterization of chitosan/gelatin microcapsules containing triclosan

Chitosan/gelatin (C/G) microcapsules containing triclosan were prepared by a spray drying method. The core material, triclosan (TS) dissolved in octyl salicylate (OS), were emulsified in an aqueous solution containing variable ratios of chitosan/gelatin. The microcapsules were obtained by spray-drying the emulsions. On the scanning electron micrographs, the microcapsules were spherical and exhibited a core and shell morphology. The thermograms of the microcapsules showed no evidence for the melting of TS, suggesting that TS remained dissolved in the cores of the microcapsules and did not exist as a solid crystalline even after dry microcapsules were formed. According to the results of microelectrophoresis study, the point of zero charge of the microcapsules occurred around pH 9.0 and a higher content of chitosan in the microcapsule wall resulted in a higher positive charge of zeta potential. The degree of release of TS and OS from the C/G microcapsules in an aqueous solution of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) was investigated. When chitosan is included in the wall of microcapsules, the degree of release was suppressed. This indicates that chitosan forms a more compact wall than gelatin. On the other hand, TS was released much more than OS. The preferred release of TS is probably due to the higher solubility of TS in the HP-beta-CD solution.     

Release properties on gelatin-gum arabic microcapsules containing camphor oil with added polystyrene

In this study, gelatin blended with arabic gum microcapsules containing camphor oil with added polystyrene were fabricated by a compound coacervation method. The parameters of oil/wall volume ratio, emulsification stirring speed, concentration of cross-linking agent, treated time and oil release properties were investigated. In order to improve the constant release effect of camphor oil, oil-soluble polystyrene (PS) was used as a sustained release agent. The camphor oil release curves were expressed by the exponential equation: ψ(t) = C_eq(1–e^−t/τ), where ψ(t) represent the variant of camphor oil concentration in the operation environment, C_eq as the equilibrium state, t as the release time and τ as time constant. C_eq and τ are significant factors pertaining to the camphor oil release properties. The results indicated that, for the microcapsules, the optimal oil/wall volume ratio was 0.75 to achieve the encapsulation efficiency of 99.6 wt.%. The average particle size were 294.7 ± 14.2 μm, 167.2 ± 11.2 μm, 85.7 ± 8.7 μm at the homogenization stirring speed of 500, 1000, and 2000 rpm, respectively. The effect of sustained oil release will increase whereas the stirring speed decreases and the concentration of glutaraldehyde (GA) and treated time increases. Along with the increasing of quantity of polystyrene added, C_eq decreased and τ increased, indicating that the sustained oil release amount and the release rate depend on the quantity of PS considerably.
