Smart Polymeric-Based Microencapsulation: A Promising Synergic Combination

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Industrial Applications for Intelligent Polymers and Coatings

Abstract

Microencapsulation technology can be used to provide protection, control the release of the loaded material, negate compatibility issues, and avoid toxicity of the encapsulated materials. Microencapsulation provides the possibility of combining different types of smart polymers, thus achieving specific properties that are difficult to get using other techniques. This chapter describes the combination of microencapsulation technology using smart polymers for industrial applications, such as coatings and paints (encapsulation of self-healing agents), construction (encapsulation of phase-change materials), textile industry (encapsulation of thermal or moisture-sensitive polymers and light-responsive polymers), food and beverage industry (encapsulation of a vitamin, flavor, or aromatic substance), pharmaceutical formulations (encapsulation of a drug for its protection or controlled drug delivery), biomedical applications (encapsulation of a specific anticancer drug for target therapy, cell-based systems, and DNA or RNA encapsulation), and aerospace and automobiles applications (encapsulation of self-healing materials, flame retardant, plasticizers, and catalysts).
