ABSTRACT
Microencapsulation, i.e. the process of enclosing micron-sized particles of solids or droplets of liquids or gasses in an inert shell which in turn isolates and protects them from the external environment,1 is one of the main research topics in contemporary chemical research, as shown by the large body of scientic publications and scientic symposia devoted to the subject.* Heterogenization in micron-sized particles is useful for eliminating a processing step and uses more efciently costly ingredients by enhancing the precision and effectiveness of action through controlled release, or for isolating molecules that would otherwise react with each other.
