Abstract
In the present paper, a facile and cost effective method was developed to fabricate micrometer-sized hollow polyurea microcapsule via W/O emulsion, with the inorganic metal salts as encapsulated materials. The size of porosities and non-porous parts were uniform with diameter ranging from 20 to 40 nm for both interior and exterior surfaces. The immobilized nickel nanoparticle was well dispersed with diameter under 30 nm. Polyurea hollow microcapsules encapsulated with NiCl 2 presented better thermal stability than polyurea itself. The immobilization of NiCl 2 was rather effective, and no leaching could be observed under ethanol, toluene and water at 110 °C while stirring for 5 h. This heterogeneous microcapsule with NiCl 2 could be reused for benzaldehyde reduction with no loss of activity or selectivity, meaning that it is an effective immobilization method.
