Non-spherical microcapsule morphology control: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Active ingredient degradation and premature release reduce product shelf-life and efficacy. Precise control over shell wall morphology and cross-linking density ensures stable containment and triggered release in personal care formulations.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Non-spherical microcapsule morphology control?

Uncontrolled active ingredient leakage

(3)evidences

Premature leakage or inconsistent delivery of encapsulated compounds in topical formulations. Stabilizing release profiles ensures prolonged efficacy and shelf-life in consumer products.

Premature active ingredient loss

(1)evidences

Encapsulated actives are prematurely released or washed away during the rinsing process. Preventing this loss ensures functional delivery to the target surface despite high water flow.

Limited surface area functionality

(1)evidences

Premature leakage or insufficient containment of volatile compounds in consumer products. Enhancing retention ensures long-term efficacy and controlled release performance.
