Abstract

Monodisperse core–shell microcapsules have been widely used as self-healing cement materials and paid more attentions. A new series of self-assembled microcapsules containing poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) as shell material were prepared by in situ polymerization technology. The microencapsulating process of core material using mixture of epoxy resins and benzyl alcohol was monitored using optical microscopy (OM). Morphology and shell wall thickness of microcapsule were observed using scanning electron microscopy and OM, respectively. The effects of different weight ratios of core–shell and the agitation rates on the physical properties of microcapsules were investigated. The size and surface morphology of microcapsule can be controlled by selecting different processing parameters.
