Encapsulation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could evaporate at a defined rate is of immense interest for application in emission reference materials (ERMs). Polyurethane/polyurea microcapsules with various VOC active ingredients (limonene, pinene, and toluene) were successfully produced by interfacial polymerization with Shirasu porous glass membrane emulsification in a size range between 10 and 50 μm. The effect of surfactant, VOC, monomer(s) type, and ratio has a great effect on the formulation process and morphology of capsules.

This article presents a method for producing chiral ionic liquid-based polyurea microcapsules that can be magnetically separated. The method involves entrapping hydrophilic magnetic nanoparticles within chiral polyurea microspheres. The synthetic process for creating these magnetic polyurea particles involves oil-in-oil (o/o) nano-emulsification of an ionic liquid-modified magnetite nanoparticle (MNPs-IL) and an ionic liquid-based diamine monomer, which comprises a chiral bis(mandelato)borate anion, in a nonpolar organic solvent, toluene, and contains a suitable surfactant.

Exploiting the chirality of nanometric structures to modulate biological systems is an emerging and compelling area of research. In this study, we reveal that chiral polyurea nanocapsules exhibit significant stereoselective interactions with albumins from various sources despite their nearly neutral surface potential. Moreover, these interactions can be modulated by altering the nanocapsule surface composition, offering new opportunities to impact their distribution and, if used as a drug delivery system, the pharmacokinetics of the drug.

Background: Although microencapsulation technology is an effective pesticide formulation method, the correlation between the release properties of microcapsules and pesticide concentrations in soil and their efficacy has not been thoroughly investigated. Here, the effects of the release properties of the nematicide Fosthiazate (FTZ) from microcapsules on their efficacy against the nematode Meloidogyne incognita were examined using experimental and mathematical approaches.
Results: Gradual release of FTZ from both polyurea microcapsules (PU-MC) and melamine-formaldehyde microcapsules (MF-MC) was observed over 30 days in the release test, and each release curve was completely distinct.
