Funded Activity Summary

Encapsulation beyond microplastics. This proposal seeks to provide a roadmap for the development and application of a new generation of microcapsules, based around sustainable, plastic-free technology. Renewable resources such as cellulose particles will be combined with innocuous inorganic binders in order to encapsulate valuable cargoes for delivery with potential applications in agrochemical delivery and consumer care products. The mechanical properties of the capsules will be measured and modelled, indicating how they behave in processing and use, and enabling their tailoring to release their contents at the right time. Surface modification of the capsules will be used to maximise their binding to materials of interest, such as clothes fibres in laundry products.
