This research was conducted to clarify the membrane formation mechanism of cross-linked polyurea microcapsules by phase separation method, especially the role of polymeric surfactant, such as poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride) (poly(E-MA)) at the interface of O/W emulsion. It was found that poly(E-MA) was necessary for the formation of cross-linked polyurea membrane. The addition of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) prohibited the membrane formation reaction at the interface, even in the case of poly(E-MA) concentration enough for polymeric microcapsule formation. From the results in this study, poly(E-MA) was found to be adsorbed on the O/W emulsion and provide the reaction site for the membrane formation of polymeric microcapsules. 相似文献

Various water-soluble polymers were used to examine an alternative emulsifier for poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride), used in the preparation of crosslinked polyurea microcapsules. Microcapsules were successfully prepared by using the water-soluble polymers with large molecular weight alternating copolymers, namely poly(olefin-maleic anhydride), poly(olefin-maleic acid), and poly(acrylic acid). On the other hand, no microcapsule resulted from olefin-maleic acid with small molecular weight alternating copolymers. From these results, the following guidelines were obtained for the selection of polymeric surfactants suitable for crosslinked polyurea microcapsule. A polymeric surfactant must have maleic acid or a carboxyl group in order to form a crosslinked polyurea microcapsule membrane. Furthermore, to form a stronger capsule membrane it is desirable to have a maleic anhydride group. It is also important for membrane formation that the polymeric surfactant has a suitable molecular weight. 相似文献

Formulation of nanocapsules based on polyureas and polyamides have been tested using a patented process. This method based on polycondensation reaction of two complementary monomers and spontaneous formation of oil in water emulsion, is an alternative concept to the known technique based on the same type of reaction used for the formulation of microcapsules, and in which the lipophilic monomer was emulsified in the organic phase before the formation of the polymeric membrane. Nanocapsules can be prepared from different monomers. Wall based on cross-linked polymer contributes to the stability of nanocapsules during and after formulation. The permeability of the polymeric wall is related to its crystallinity and contributes to the growth of nanocapsule membrane by the diffusion of the hydrophilic monomers to get stable colloidal suspensions. 相似文献

AbstractA multiphase emulsification technique was modified in this process of microencapsulating gentamicin sulphate, thus avoiding the necessity for a surfactant in preparing the secondary emulsion for a W/O/W emulsion. Various proportions of iota-carrageenan (i-C) and locust bean gum (LBG) were investigated for the W/O/W emulsion after forming the primary W/O emulsion with sorbitan trioleate, Span 85. Upon removal of the oil phase (chloroform) from the W/O/W emulsion by heating (60-65°C), microcapsules or ‘W/W particles containing drug dissolved in sodium hyaluronate were spontaneously formed. These were dispersed in a solution of a mixture of 5-10 per cent w/v polyvinyl alcohol, PVA (average MW 50000-106000; 98 per cent hydrolysed) and 3 per cent v/v polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG 200), and dried to form the hydrogel film casts. Our in vitro experiments in isotonic phosphate buffer solution (pH 7-4) at 37°C., showed that the release of gentamicin sulphate was dependent on concentration of LBG, and concentration or molecular weight of PVA. With the exception of PVA hydrogel matrix preparations containing 20 per cent w/v LBG, all other formulations showed a significant initial ‘burst' release of drug within 6h. The drug-containing microcapsules in the PVA hydrogel film with 20 per cent w/v LBG, exhibited an almost zero-order release of drug up to 140h. It is postulated that an effective barrier or high-density membrane enveloping the microcapsules was formed between i-C and LBG because of their unique molecular configurations. This phenomenon, together with the possible adsorption of i-C molecules at the transient oil and outer aqueous phase interface, presumably eliminated the need for a permanent oil phase and/or an O/W surfactant normally required for preparing W/O/W emulsions. 相似文献

For the preparation of microcapsules using the W/O/W (water in oil in water) emulsion system, it is essential to control various factors such as the dispersed state of the organic phase in the W/O/W emulsion, the difference in the solute concentration between the inner and outer aqueous phases and the volume fraction of the dispersed phase. In this study, cross-linked microcapsules were prepared by the in-situ polymerization of styrene and divinylbenzene and biodegradable microcapsules were prepared by the solvent evaporation method. The effects of the preparation conditions on the capsule morphology and entrapment efficiency of water-soluble materials were investigated. The average diameter of the surface pores and internal hollows were controlled on a sub-micron order by changing the preparation conditions such as diluent concentration, volume fraction of the dispersed droplets in the W/O (water in oil) emulsion, surfactant concentration monomer ratio and salt concentration in the outer aqueous phase. Furthermore, the water-soluble materials were completely entrapped in the biodegradable microcapsule by changing the preparation conditions such as volume fraction of the dispersed droplets in the W/O emulsion, salt concentration in the inner and outer aqueous phases, polymer concentration and supersonic irradiation of the W/O droplets. 相似文献

Microparticles prepared from poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) using a W1/O/W2 double emulsion solvent evaporation method are suitable vehicles for the delivery of proteins to antigen presenting cells, e.g. dendritic cells. In this study, the influence of different techniques for the preparation of the primary W1/O emulsion was investigated with respect to the protein localization within the microparticles, morphological characteristics of these particles, protein burst release and the native state of the released protein. Bovine serum albumin bearing fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC-BSA) was used as model protein. A static micromixer was applied for the preparation of the W1/O/W2 double emulsion. Employing a rotor-stator homogenizer (Ultra-Turrax) for primary emulsification, microcapsules with a high burst release were produced, because nearly all FITC-BSA was attached to the outside of the particle wall. Using a high pressure homogenizer or an ultrasonic procedure resulted in the formation of microspheres with homogeneous protein distribution and a reduced burst release. 相似文献

Uniform titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) microcapsules prepared by glass membrane emulsification with subsequent solvent evaporation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Anatase-type titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) was encapsulated using an Shirasu porous glass (SPG) membrane emulsification technique and followed by solvent evaporation. The oil phase, consisting of fine#10; powder of anatase TiO(2), Disperbyk-180, the hydrophobic oil phase additive, and polymer wall solution, was pushed through the membrane pores into the aqueous phase of poly(vinyl alcohol) and sodium dodecyl sulfate to form the solid-in-oil-in water, (S/O)/W, emulsion droplets. Three types of styrene-based copolymer poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid) (PS-AA), poly(styrene-co-2-ethyl hexyl acrylate) (PS-2EHA) and poly(styrene-co-dimethyl aminoethylmethacrylate) (PS-DMAEMA) were used as an encapsulating shell. Uniform droplets were successfully obtained by modifying the oil phase using methyl laurate or hexadecanol as the oil phase additive, together with carefully monitoring the emulsification flow rate during the emulsification. The (S/O)/W emulsion was gently stirred in a sealed reactor, and evacuation of solvent started under moderate heating with increasing a vacuum intensity. Those uniform-sized TiO(2) microcapsules revealed fine porous morphologies on their surfaces as a result of a mild phase separation induced from the addition of the oil phase additive. The encapsulation efficiency was influenced by the stability of TiO(2) in the oil phase, the polymer wall employed, and the operational control of the glass membrane emulsification process. The membrane emulsification process could prepare the TiO(2) microcapsules with about approximately 6-8.5 wt% of encapsulation loadings. PS-AA and PS-2EHA copolymers provided better encapsulation efficiency compared to PS-DMAEMA. SPG membranes with 1.42, 2.8, 5.25, 7.0, or 9.5 microm were employed and 2-20 microm microcapsules were subsequently obtained. 相似文献

Spherical silica microcapsules containing phase-change material (PCM) were prepared by the sol-gel method in O/W emulsion. This is the first time that inorganic encapsulation of PCM with core/shell structure has been studied. The results of this synthesis revealed that micron size (4 - 8 microm) silica microspheres encapsulating n-pentadecane can be successfully created from acidic solutions ([H+] > or = 1.44 N) by using cationic surfactants as the emulsifiers. The identification of the mechanisms for the formation of silica shell at the oil-water interface indicates that it should be the charge-controlled mechanism through S+X-I+ (positively charged surfactant-halide ion-positively charged silica species) electrostatic interactions or the reaction rates-controlled mechanism working on cationic emulsifiers. 相似文献

AbstractMicrocapsules containing insulin were prepared using a combination of a W/O/W double emulsion and complex coacervation between WPI (used as a hydrophilic emulsifier) and CMC or SA with further spray drying of the microcapsules in order to provide protection in the gastrointestinal tract. The microcapsules prepared exhibited high encapsulation efficiency and showed the typical structure of a double emulsion. After spray drying of these microcapsules, the integrity of the W/O/W double emulsion was maintained and the biological residual activity remained high when using the combination of 180?°C inlet air temperature and 70?°C outlet air temperature. The microcapsules exhibited low solubility at pH 2 and high solubility at pH 7 so they might protect insulin at acid pH values in the stomach and release it at intestinal pH values. The microcapsules developed in this study seem to be a promising oral delivery vehicle for insulin or other therapeutic proteins. 相似文献

Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) microcapsules containing acetaminophen (APAP) were prepared by three emulsion solvent-evaporation methods including an O/W-emulsion method, an O/W-emulsion co-solvent method and a W/O/W-multiple-emulsion method. The average size and morphology of the microcapsules varied substantially among these three preparation methods. Various alcohol and alkane co-solvents were found to exert significant impact on the O/W-emulsion co-solvent method and a more lipophilic co-solvent such as heptane appeared to enhance drug encapsulation with an efficiency nearly double of the O/W-emulsion method. When a small amount of water was added as the internal aqueous phase in the W/O/W-multiple-emulsion method, the encapsulation efficiency was found nearly triple of that for the O/W-emulsion method. While having a higher encapsulation efficiency, the microcapsules prepared by the W/O/W-multiple-emulsion method had as good controlled release behaviour as those prepared by the O/W-emulsion method. The release kinetics of microcapsules prepared by the O/W-emulsion method and the O/W-emulsion co-solvent (alcohol) method fitted the Higuchi model well in corroboration with the uniform distribution of APAP in PLLA matrix, i.e. the monolithic type microcapsules. However, the release kinetics of microcapsules prepared by the O/W-emulsion co-solvent (alkane) method and the W/O/W-multiple-emulsion method fitted the first-order model better, indicating the reservoir type microcapsules. 相似文献

AbstractThe novel poly(urethane–urea) microcapsules (PUUMC) were obtained by the interfacial polyaddition reaction between the oil-soluble hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) and the water soluble poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion. The PVA was used instead of diols. Maltogenase L (maltogenic α-amylase from Bacillus stearothermophilus (E. C. 3.2.1.133) (MG) was encapsulated in the PUUMC during or after formation of capsules. The PUUMC were thoroughly characterised by chemical analytical methods, FT-IR, SEM, thermal analysis, surface area, pore volume and size analysis. Furthermore, by carefully analysing the influencing factors including: catalyst and surfactants and their concentrations, the initial molar ratio of PVA and HMDI, stirring rate and ratio of dispersed phase to external phase, the optimum synthesis conditions were found out. A controlled release of MG could be observed in many cases. Delayed-release capsules were obtained when initial concentration of HMDI was increased. These capsules have potential application in biotechnology for saccharification of starch. 相似文献

Purpose. To substitute dichloromethane with a safer solvent, a solvent extraction process using methylethyl ketone (MEK) was developed to prepare poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) microcapsules.
Methods. The MEK dispersed phase containing PLGA and progesterone was emulsified in the MEK-saturated aqueous phase (W1) to make a transient oil-in-water (O/W1) emulsion. It was then transferred to a sufficient amount of water (W2) so that MEK residing in polymeric droplets could be extracted effectively into the continuous phase.
Results. This solvent extraction process provided the encapsulation efficiency for progesterone ranging from 77 to 60%. The amount of MEK predissolved in W1 as well as the degree of progesterone payload, influenced the encapsulation efficiency. The leaching profile of MEK analyzed by GC substantiated that, upon dispersion of O/W1 to W2, MEK quickly diffused into the continuous phase. Such a rapid diffusion of MEK from and the ingression of water into polymeric droplets produced hollow microcapsules, as evidenced by their SEM micrographs.
Conclusions. When solvent extraction/evaporation techniques are employed for preparing PLGA microcapsules, water-immiscibility of a dispersed phase is not an absolute prerequisite to the successful microencapsulation. Adjustment of an initial extraction rate of MEK and formation of a primary transient O/W1 emulsion are found to be very crucial not only for the success of microencapsulation but also for the determination of microcapsule morphology. 相似文献

An original encapsulation process of DHEA was developed, based on the formation of poly(ortho ester) membrane from interfacial polycondensation in an oil-in-oil emulsion. First, the formation of poly(ortho ester) (POE) in solution under anhydrous conditions between a polyol, a lactide diol and a diketene acetal (3,9-diethylidene-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro-[5.5]-undecane) was studied in order to determine the structural and thermal characteristics of the POE polymer. The optimization of the formation of a fine and stable emulsion with the required size distribution was performed in relation with the type of the internal and external phases, the type and the concentration of the surfactant and the stirring rate and duration. The diffusion of monomers and DHEA was evaluated by GC-MS analysis in order to determine the mechanisms of the membrane formation. Finally the synthesis of poly(ortho ester) DHEA-loaded microcapsules was performed under anhydrous conditions required by the particular synthesis of POE. Stable poly(ortho ester) microcapsules containing DHEA were obtained with particle sizes; 1 micro m. 相似文献

The stability of W/O/W emulsions has been studied in batch agitators. The surfactants suitable for W/O/W emulsions were screened and the factors affecting the emulsion stability were also studied. Results showed that polyamine E644 was an excellent emulsifier for W/O emulsions since the emulsion stabilized by it has not only good stability but also shows smaller swelling. The stability of the emulsion increases with increase in membrane viscosity and concentration of surfactant, but decreases with increase in concentration of the internal reagent in the internal phase and the carriers in the membrane. Raising the agitation speed and the time for preparing the W/O emulsion is beneficial to membrane stability due to formation of smaller internal droplets, but raising the speed for dispersing the W/O emulsion in the external phase results in an increase in membrane breakage. 相似文献

The double-encapsulated microcapsules were prepared by the non-solvent addition, phase-separation method to form core material and, encapsulated with the O/W emulsion non-solvent addition method to increase drug loading and regulate drug release rate. The drug used was theophylline, which is water-soluble. Dichloromethane and n-hexane were used as the solvent and non-solvent, respectively. This study investigated how various core material and microcapsule EC/TH ratios affect the drug loss, particle size, surface morphology and release rate. The drug loss of the double-encapsuLated microcapsules was 12.8% less than that of microcapsules prepared by the O/W emulsion non-solvent addition method alone. The particle size of these double-encapsulated microcapsules decreased as the concentration of EC polymer was increased in the second encapsulation process. The roughness of their surface was also in proportion to the concentration of polymer solution used in the second encapsulation process. The dissolution study showed that the T20 of the double-encapsulated microcapsules ranged from 2-35.4 h, while that of the O/W emulsion non-solvent addition method microcapsules was from 2.7-7.7 h. The greater the level of EC in the polymer solution, the slower the release rate of the drug from the microcapsules when the EC was not over the critical amount. 相似文献

A technique has been developed to view cross-sections of microcapsules prepared by a multiple emulsion method. Poly(styrene) microcapsules were prepared by emulsifying an aqueous solution containing sodium dichromate, a corrosion inhibitor, into an organic solution containing dissolved poly(styrene). This water-in-oil emulsion was added to an aqueous solution with stirring to form a water-in-oil-in-water emulsion. The organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure resulting in polystyrene walled microcapsules containing aqueous sodium dichromate. The microcapsules were embedded in an agarose gel and sliced for examination by transmission electron microscopy. The cross-sections clearly identified a core surrounded by a sponge-like polymeric wall. The microcapsules were also examined by scanning electron microscopy. These photomicrographs showed a smooth, continuous external wall structure. 相似文献
