Abstract:

Microcapsules were prepared by in situ polymerization using calcium carbonate as wall material and stearic acid as core material. And its surface morphology and thermal properties are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transfer-infrared spectrometry, differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry. The effect of emulsifying process on the surface morphology, transformation temperature and encapsulation rate were studied by changing the kinds and dosage of emulsifiers. The results showed that sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate is the most suitable emulsifier compared with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and TX-100, and the adequate mass proportion of the emulsifier vs. core material is 0.5%. The transformation temperature is 112.24 ℃, and the clad ratio is 92.1%.
