Oil core-polymer shell microcapsules prepared by internal phase separation from emulsion droplets. I. Characterization and release rates for microcapsules with polystyrene shells

Microcapsules with an oil core surrounded by a polymeric shell have been prepared by the controlled phase separation of polymer dissolved within the oil droplets of an oil-in-water emulsion. The dispersed oil phase consists of the shell polymer (polystyrene), a good solvent for the polymer (dichloro...

520 |a Microcapsules with an oil core surrounded by a polymeric shell have been prepared by the controlled phase separation of polymer dissolved within the oil droplets of an oil-in-water emulsion. The dispersed oil phase consists of the shell polymer (polystyrene), a good solvent for the polymer (dichloromethane), and a poor solvent for the polymer (typically hexadecane). Removal of the good solvent results in phase separation of the polymer within the oil droplets. If the three interfacial tensions between the core oil, the shell-forming polymer, and the continuous phase are of the required relative magnitudes, a polymer shell forms surrounding the poor solvent. A UV-responsive organic molecule was added to the oil phase, prior to emulsification, to investigate the release of a model active ingredient from the microcapsules. This molecule should be soluble in the organic core but also have some water solubility to provide a driving force for release into the continuous aqueous phase. As the release rate of the active ingredient is a function of the thickness of the polymeric shell, for controlled release applications, it is necessary to control this parameter. For the preparative method described here, the thickness of the shell formed is directly related to the mass of polymer dissolved in the oil phase. The rate of volatile solvent removal influences the porosity of the polymer shell. Rapid evaporation leads to cracks in the shell and a relatively fast release rate of the active ingredient. If a more gentle evaporation method is employed, the porosity of the polymer shell is decreased, resulting in a reduction in release rate. Cross-linking the polymer shell after capsule formation was also found to decrease both the release rate and the yield of the active ingredient. The nature of the oil core also affected the release yield
