“…This approach advances numerous benefits over direct additions such as (a) eliminates the undesirable interaction of active agents with the coating constituents, (b) enhances the even distribution of low soluble active agents in the coating matrix, and (c) reduces the leaching rate of high soluble active agents in aqueous systems 9 – 13 . Consequently, in this regard, several types of nano / micro containers have been introduced for the encapsulation of active agents, such as the inorganic non-metallic oxides (SiO 2 , silica particles, clays) 14 – 16 , metallic oxides (Mn 2 O 3 , CeO 2 ) 17 , 18 , carbon nanoparticles (carbon nanotubes) 19 – 21 , and organic nano / micro-containers (polyelectrolytes, polymer shells) 16 , 22 – 24 . Regrettably, the industrial application of some of these nano/micro containers is confronted by some setbacks.…”
