Description
This article is a review which covers the spectacular technology of microencapsulation; it’s method of preparation, selection of polymeric core shell materials and their uses in broad scale of applications. The methodology of microencapsulation adopted depends on the selection of core and shell ingredients which further depends on the application area. The encapsulation is categorized into three main methods of preparation such as Chemical method, Physic-o-chemical and Physical method. Microencapsulation technology occupies a wide range of applications by encapsulating drugs, fragrances, catalyst, vitamins, adhesives, cosmetics, enzymes, healing agents and various other active materials which employed in agriculture, textiles, and for clinical purposes. Microcapsulation of phase change material revolutionized smart textiles by making them permanent thermoregulatory as well as a slow release encapsulation mechanism for different innovative functional textiles.
