Layer-by-layer self-assembled calcium oxide microcapsules with polysaccharide films for natural gas hydrate exploitation

Fabrication and property evaluation of calcium-oxide-loaded microcapsules during supplemental heat-based exploitation of natural gas hydrates

“…The surface modication of CaO can help increase the exothermic duration from 25 to 75 min. [12][13][14] Since the 1980s, microencapsulation has been successfully applied to the pharmaceutical eld, followed by extensive application and development in the food, chemical, and textile industries. Microencapsulation can be applied to encapsulate active molecules to isolate and protect them, release them in a controlled manner, and improve their compatibility and dispersion.…”
