Abstract

Microencapsulation is a well-established process of enveloping or surrounding one substance into another substance that provides capsules having range from one micron to many hundred microns in size. One among the highly efficient methods is microencapsulation. The encapsulation efficiency of microcapsules, micro particles, or microspheres depend on various factors like solubility of polymer in solvent, concentration of polymer, solubility of organic solvent in water, rate of solvent removal, etc. Substances are often encapsulated in such a way that the core material is confined within capsule shells (coating material) for a particular interval of time. Different types of techniques are used for preparation of microcapsules. These techniques are utilized in different fields like pharmaceutical, agriculture, textile, food, printing, and defence. This text covers a review on microencapsulation and materials involved, microencapsulation techniques, and use of microencapsulation in textiles.
