Size effect of complexing microcapsules on copper ion extraction

In a previous work [J. Microencapsulation, in press], polyamide microcapsules containing a poly(acrylic acid) gel as a macromolecular ligand (PAA-CAPS) with a mean diameter of 210 μm were prepared using an original two-step polymerization process combining interfacial polycondensation and radical polymerization in a water in oil inverse emulsion system. Extractions of many divalent cations were examined. In this work, we proposed to synthesise by the same process, smaller microcapsules with a mean diameter of 10 μm (PAA-μCAPS). Reference polyamide microcapsules, i.e. without ligand were also synthesized (μCAPS) and (CAPS) [J. Microencapsulation, in press]. Microcapsule wall thickness was evaluated by SEM and TEM observations of microcapsule cross-section cuts, microcapsule water content was determined by thermogravimetric experiments. Specific surface area and total volume of the pore of microcapsules were determined by BET method based on N₂ adsorption/desorption. The comparison of the extractabilities and the stripping of Cu(II) into the various kind of microcapsules were examined.     

Preparation of chitosan/alginate microcapsules by high-voltage electrostatic method

Chitosan and sodium alginate have the opposite charges; they can become a gelatin by the electrostatic attraction, High-voltage electrostatic droplet generator method was used to prepare chitosan-sodium alginate microcapsule.

Adhesion and growth of goat mammary epithelial cells on novel polyelectrolyte complex

Alginate/poly(acryloxyethyl-trimethylammonium chloride-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) [poly(Q-co-H)] microcapsules were prepared by ionic gelation (Ca²⁺) for adhesion and growth of goat mammary epithelial cell culture. In the procedure of microcapsule formation, alginate was first pumped into a CaCl₂ solution and then transferred into a poly(Q-co-H). The poly(Q-co-H) was prepared by free-radical polymerization in aqueous solution at 60 °C using potassium persulfate as initiator. The microcapsules obtained were sterilized using gamma radiation according to International Standards Organization (ISO)/TR 13409. Scanning electron microscopy studies indicated the high porosity and rough surface marked by large wrinkles of the microcapsule surface, and the diameter of the microcapsule was approximately 497 μm, and diameters ranking 480–515 μm were obtained. Optical michrography shows the epithelial morphology acquired by goat epithelial mammary cells (GMEC) on poly(Q-co-H)/NaAlg microcapsule surface after 8 h of culture.     

Generation of core-shell microcapsules with three-dimensional focusing device for efficient formation of cell spheroid

We present a microfluidic device generating three-dimensional (3D) coaxial flow by the addition of a simple hillock to produce an alginate core-shell microcapsule for the efficient formation of a cell spheroid. A hillock tapered at downstream of the two-dimensional focusing channel enables outside flow to enclose the core flow. The aqueous solution in the core flow was focused and surrounded by 1.8% alginate solution to be solidified as a shell. The double-layered coaxial flow (aqueous phase) was broken up into a droplet by the shear flow of oleic acid (oil phase) containing calcium chloride for the polymerization of the alginate shell. The droplet generated from the laminar coaxial flow maintained a double-layer structure and gelation of the alginate solution made a core-shell microcapsule. The shell-thickness of the microcapsule was adjusted from 8-21 μm by the variation of two aqueous flow rates. The inner shape of the shell was almost spherical when the ratio of the water-glycol mixture in the core flow exceeded 20%. The microcapsule was used to form a spheroid of embryonic carcinoma cells (embryoid body; EB) by injecting a cell suspension into the core flow. The cells inside the microcapsule aggregated into an EB within 2 days and the EB formation rate was more than 80% with strong compaction. The microcapsule formed single spherical EBs without small satellite clusters or a bumpy shape as observed in solid microbeads. The microfluidic chip for encapsulation of cells could generate a number of EBs with high rate of EB formation when compared with the conventional hanging drop method. The core-shell microcapsule generated by 3D focusing in the microchannel was effective in forming large number of spherical cell clusters and the encapsulation of cells in the microcapsule is expected to be useful in the transplantation of islet cells or cancer stem cell enrichment.     

Production of porous silica microparticles by membrane emulsification

A method for the production of near-monodispersed spherical silica particles with controllable porosity based on the formation of uniform emulsion droplets using membrane emulsification is described. A hydrophobic metal membrane with a 15 μm pore size and 200 μm pore spacing was used to produce near-monodispersed droplets, with a mean size that could be controlled between 65 and 240 μm containing acidified sodium silicate solution (with 4 and 6 wt % SiO(2)) in kerosene. After drying and shrinking, the final silica particles had a mean size in the range between 30 and 70 μm. The coefficient of variation for both the droplets and the particles did not exceed 35%. The most uniform particles had a mean diameter of 40 μm and coefficient of variation of 17%. By altering the pH of the sodium silicate solution and aging the gel particles in water or acetone, the internal structure of the silica particles was successfully modified, and both micro- and mesoporous near-monodispersed spherical particles were produced with an average internal pore size between 1 and 6 nm and an average surface area between 360 and 750 m(2) g(-1). A material balance and particle size analysis provided identical values for the internal voidage of the particles, when compared to the voidage as determined by BET analysis.     

Polyelectrolyte micro- and nanocapsules with varied shell permeability controlling the rate of esters hydrolysis

Two variants of layer-by-layer deposition of polyelectrolytes (polyacrylic acid and polyethyleneimine) for the encapsulation of low-molecular-weight hydrophobic substrates (carboxylic acid esters) were proposed. The spectrophotometric method was used to study the kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of the esters by monitoring the permeability of microcapsule shells. The first procedure provides a preliminary microencapsulation of substrates into the carbonate matrix to form stable capsules 7–10 μm in size with a low wall permeability. According to the second procedure, the polyelectrolytes were adsorbed directly on the dispersed substrate. In this case, nanosized capsules are formed, whose permeability is controlled by the ultrasonic treatment and the number of deposited layers.

Highly crosslinked micron-range polymer microspheres by dispersion polymerization of divinylbenzene

Narrow disperse microparticles are formed by dispersion polymerization of commercial divinylbenzene in acetonitrile or ethanol solution in the presence of 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) initiator and polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilizer. The particles have average diameters between 1 and 9 μm depending on monomer concentration, solvent, and temperature. While the smaller particles are relatively smooth, surface texture increases with diameter to give popcorn shapes at 9 μm diameter. High crosslinker concentration is shown to be essential for particle formation. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Preparation and characterization of poly(melamine-formaldehyde) microcapsules filled with propisochlor

A novel propisochlor microcapsules suspension (CS) was prepared via in-situ polymerization. The preparation of melamine-formaldehyde resin microcapsules containing propisochlor with different ratios of core-shell material was investigated. The synthesized microcapsules were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer, Scanning Electron Microscope, Ultraviolet spectrometry, Thermogravimetric analyses and particle size analyzer. As the ratio of core/shell was 1, the diameter of the prepared microcapsules was the smallest (3.55?µm), while narrowest size distribution (span: 1.19) and the melamine formaldehyde microcapsules possessed the highest encapsulation efficiency (93.26%). The surface of the microcapsules was smooth and the microcapsules had poor adhesion. These microcapsules had compact microstructures and global shapes, which had a good thermal stability and propisochlor could be preserved better in the poly(melamine-formaldehyde) (PMF) microcapsules. These results indicated that the prepared microcapsule had better performance. Additionally, the propisochlor was easily degraded through microorganisms and had a short half-life. The microcapsule suspension of propisochlor hasn’t been researched yet. Therefore, it is significant to prepare microcapsule suspension. The technology of controlled release has effectively prolonged the persistence of active ingredients. More importantly, there is no use of organic solvents in the preparation of microcapsules suspension, which avoided the pollution of solvents to the ecological environment.
