Preparation and characterization of microcapsules containing particulate phosphorescent agent with suspension polymerization

Abstract

Microcapsules containing particulate phosphorescent agent (strontium aluminate) were prepared by the suspension polymerization method and characterized about a few items such as the mean diameters, the content, the inner structure and the afterglow luminance property. Furthermore, the fundamental experiments were conducted to investigate how the dispersing feature of particulate phosphorescent agent affects the afterglow luminance property. In the experiment, the concentration of oil soluble surfactant, the crosslinking agent species, the added weight of the phosphorescent agent and the pre‐bulk polymerization time were mainly changed stepwise. Afterglow luminance of particulate phosphorescent agent gradually decreased with the afterglow time and considerably decreased because of soaking them in water. Decline of afterglow luminance because of soaking in water could be prevented by microencapsulation. Afterglow luminance of the multicore type microcapsules was found to be higher than that of the core–shell type microcapsules. The content of particulate phosphorescent agent could be increased by performing pre‐bulk polymerization and increasing the concentration of the oil soluble surfactant.

Microencapsulation of phosphor particles with the drying‐in‐liquid method in parallel with the suspension polymerization method and effect on afterglow luminance property

“…Phosphor particles tried to microencapsulate in this study were the same as one used in the previous paper . However, in order to help understand easily the results and discussion in this study, the fundamental physicochemical properties of PP are shown as follows, too.…”

“…Recently, Tanaka et al . have microencapsulated the particulate phosphorescent agent with the suspension polymerization method and reported that the microencapsulation was extremely effective to increase the waterproof.…”

Preparation of Microcapsules Containing Dye Aqueous Solution and Investigation of Release Feature According to Preparation Method

“…The experimental apparatus used to prepare the microcapsules is the same as the previous one [21]. After bulk polymerization was conducted for 30 min, the (W/O) emulsion was added into the continuous water phase, stirred to form the (W/O)/W emulsion and then, suspension polymerization was conducted for 7 h under the conditions such as Nr = 300 rpm and T = 70˚C.…”

Phase change microcapsules with lead tungstate shell for gamma radiation shielding and thermal energy storage

“…4 Moreover, they have a limited low thermal conductivity. [7][8][9] In addition, some common polymers shell materials comprise polystyrene, 10 polyurea-formaldehyde resin, 11 melamine-formaldehyde resin, 12 polyurethane, 13 and poly (butyl acrylate). Microencapsulation of PCMs in shell materials to form phase change microcapsules can effectively solve these problems.…”

“…6 In the past studies, numerous microcapsules with various polymer shell materials had already developed by following mature encapsulation technologies: the interfacial polycondensation, in-situ polymerization, and suspension polymerization pathways. [7][8][9] In addition, some common polymers shell materials comprise polystyrene, 10 polyurea-formaldehyde resin, 11 melamine-formaldehyde resin, 12 polyurethane, 13 and poly (butyl acrylate). 14 Although the polymer shell has high compatibility with PCMs and is simple to operate, it has not been widely used as a result of some main problems such as poor thermal conductivity, lack of rigidity, and flammability.…”
