Phase change energy storage microcapsules were synthesized in situ by using melamine-formaldehyde-urea co-condensation resin (MUF) as wall material, n-octadecane (C18) as core material and styryl-maleic anhydride copolymer (SMA) as emulsifier. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis were used to study the effects of emulsifier type, emulsifier dosage, core-wall ratio and pH on the morphology and thermal properties of microcapsules. The results show that the pH of core material and the ratio of core to wall have a great influence on the performance of microcapsules. SMA emulsifiers and MUF are suitable for the encapsulation of C18. When the pH is 4.5 and the core-wall ratio is 2/1, the latent heat and encapsulation efficiency of phase transition reaches 207.3 J g and 84.7%, respectively. The prepared phase-change microcapsules also have good shape stability and thermal stability.

This study aimed to assess the stability of thyme essential oil microcapsules (TEOMs) and their impacts on the antioxidant properties and quality of lamb patties. The results demonstrated that gum Arabic effectively enhanced the stability of phenols within the thyme essential oil (TEO), with an optimal core/wall ratio of 1:8. Substituting TEO with TEOMs in lamb patties led to reductions in the thiobarbituric acid content, carbonyl content, sulfhydryl loss, and protein cross-linking.

Magnetic carbonyl iron powder (CIP) microcapsules were created by in situ polymerization using melamine resin as the wall material and CIP as the core material. They were mixed with shellac self-repairing microcapsules to prepare dual-functional wood coatings, and the effect of different amounts of CIP microcapsules in the Dulux Waterborne primer on the performance of the primer was investigated. The findings demonstrated that the core-wall ratio had a significant impact on the characteristics of CIP microcapsules.

β-ionone has a unique violet odor and good biological activity, which is an essential fragrance component and potential anticancer drug. In this paper, β-ionone was encapsulated using complex coacervation of gelatin and pectin, followed by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The pH value, wall material concentration, core-wall ratio, homogenization conditions, and curing agent content were investigated in the single-factor experiments.
