Fabrication of Core-Shell Novel Polyurea Microcapsules Using Isophorone Diisocyanate (IPDI) Trimer for Release System

摘要

Isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) trimer based novel polyurea core shell structures were developed by interfacial polymerization. Different operating conditions have been used to fabricate shell to encapsulate core. Characterizations of prepared microcapsules were done by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and particle size analyzer. The surface morphology of microcapsules was examined by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The release rate of core from microcapsules was estimated by UV and gas chromatography. The results revealed that tailor made release can be adjusted by varying operational protocol for shell and fabricated shell can be extended to other applications such as self-healing coatings and drug delivery.
