The synthesis of microcapsules via in situ polymerization is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process, where many composition and process factors affect the microcapsule formation and its morphology. Herein, we report ...

A systematic study has been carried out to compare the surface morphology, shell thickness, mechanical properties and binding behavior of melamine formaldehyde icrocapsules of 5 to 30 µm diameter size with various amounts ...

In the present study, PMF-based microcapsules (MCs) containing linseed oil were synthesized via a two-stage insitu polymerization method. As shell material was synthesized, micrometric spherical PMF particles, which could ...

In this work, epoxy-loaded microcapsules were successfully synthesized by in situ polymerization in oil-in-water emulsion with poly(melamine-formaldehyde) as shell material and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F resin as ...

There is a great concern about the indoor microbial colonization especially in places that should have high standards of environmental hygiene. Besides, due it shortened the useful life of the coating by discoloration and ...

This document was carried out with the objective of conducting a review of the state of the art and the implementation of self-healing technologies in existing concrete and pavements, in order to establish the bases for ...
