Improved performance of microcapsules with polymer nanocomposite wall: Preparation and characterization

Fabrication and characterization of self-healing microcapsules containing bituminous rejuvenator by a nano-inorganic/organic hybrid method

“…A literature review shows that the inorganic/organic composite may be an efficient structure for microcapsules with improved thermal and mechanical properties [16]. Relative researches indicated that the thermal stability, mechanical property and chemical resistance of microcapsules could be regulated by the addition of inorganic particles such as nano-clays, nano-SiO 2 , nano-CaCO 3 , carbon nano-tubes, nano-Al 2 O 3 [17][18][19][20].…”

Competitive interactions, structure and properties in polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites

“…Although the interest in polymer/layered silicate nano composites has ebbed somewhat recently, relatively intensive work is going on in the field and a large number of papers are published [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The decrease of interest is caused by the fact that the nano hype has not been justified and a breakthrough has not occurred in the application of such composites.…”

Review on the preparation and modified technologies of microencapsulated red phosphorus

“…Its development was revealed by the minification of the diameter of microcapsule. Nano-caspsule can be prepared so far, and it has been applied in the field of agriculture chemistry, pharmacy, textile printing, et.al [5,6]. Microencapsulation is considered as one of the most suitable surface processing for naked RP [7,8]: the compact shell structure keeps water or oxygen away from core RP as well as lowers the sensitivity of friction or temperature; microencapsulated RP has a more effective flame resistance available and can disperse well in liquid epoxy materials; compared with pristine RP, MCRP can endow fire-retardant materials with satisfied mechanical and electrical property, i.e.…”
