Microcapsule identification methods

Abstract

Controlled release and protection of the active agent from premature release into the environment are the main roles of the microcapsules. In order to achieve this, it is important to know the composition and constitution of the active agent and coating designed to protect active substances of various impacts. In order to determine the amount of release of the active substance in any situation, e.g. during care, drying, carrying, standing in a closet, etc., appropriate microcapsule analysis is required. This paper presents selected qualitative and quantitative methods of identification of microcapsules themselves and microcapsules applied on textile with examples.
