Abstract
The present invention teaches a cationically charged or neutral microcapsule particle comprising an oil soluble or dispersible core material and a wall material at least partially surrounding the core material, the microcapsule wall material comprising the reaction product of a first composition in the presence of a second composition comprising an emulsifier which is cationic or nonionic, the first composition comprising a reaction product of i) an oil soluble or dispersible amine with ii) a multifunctional acrylate or methacrylate monomer or oligomer, an oil soluble acid and an initiator. The cationic or nonionic emulsifier comprises a water soluble or water dispersible material and optionally a water phase initiator. The first composition initiator and the water phase initiator is an energy-activated initiator. The reaction product of the first composition and second composition results in the formation of a population of microcapsules having a microcapsule wall of low permeance to the core material and having a zeta potential of −5 millivolts or greater. The resulting microcapsules have adherence to anionic surfaces.
