Dual population silica encapsulate architecture: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

Engineering the ratio and release profiles of multiple distinct silica capsule populations within a single matrix. This allows for multi-stage delivery or complex fragrance/active release kinetics in consumer goods.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Dual population silica encapsulate architecture?

Inefficient benefit agent deposition

(18)evidences

Active ingredients often fail to adhere to fabric surfaces during the wash cycle and are rinsed away. Improving deposition efficiency ensures long-lasting sensory or functional benefits on the substrate.

Inadequate fragrance release profiles

(8)evidences

Single encapsulate populations often fail to provide both immediate and long-lasting sensory experiences or fail to deliver across different usage stages. Using dual populations addresses the limitation of linear or insufficient scent longevity in consumer products.

Uncontrolled payload release

(5)evidences

The primary challenge in silica encapsulation is the premature leakage or inconsistent discharge of the encapsulated payload. Controlling release kinetics ensures the active ingredient reaches the target environment effectively.
