Abstract
The main objective of this research was to synthesize polyurethane/polyuria-formaldehyde (PU/UF) microcapsules containing 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA). Bi-layer microcapsules containing EHA monomers were synthesized via interfacial polymerization in an oil/water emulsion. The surface morphology and shape of synthesized microcapsules were evaluated using optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). FTIR spectroscopy was carried out for characterization of the microcapsule. The results showed that the prepared microcapsules were spherical, with an average diameter about 20-140 and thickness of about 1.5 μm, without any inter-capsule bonding and had a smooth surface. The microcapsules synthesized in this way offer an interesting prospect for applications in thread locking adhesives.
