Abstract:Microcapsules were synthesized using fully biobased monomers (itaconic acid (IA) and its derivatives) and partially biobased monomers (tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate and glycerol dimethacrylate) via one-pot interfacial radical polymerization for encapsulating fragrance oil. The loading capacity (the fraction of the fragrance oil in the entire mixture (slurry)) was as high as approximately 31 wt %, which is practically attractive. The three monomers were effectively polymerized at the oil−water interface to fo… Show more
