Hybrid core-shell microcapsules for encapsulating active ingredients. Microcapsules are chitosan-based and biocompatible. Microcapsules have a shell composition of an anionic polymer with carboxylate or sulfonate groups, a cationic polymer with quaternary ammonium groups, an alkali metal silicate or silicate precursor, an organosilane coupling agent with terminal groups like quaternary ammonium, hydroxy, or carboxylate.Microcapsules contain one or more active ingredients in liquid form.

Applications

Ideal for encapsulating essences, perfumes, plant extracts and probiotics, both hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Hybrid core-shell microcapsules are innovative materials used for encapsulating active ingredients in various fields, like: 1) Controlled Release: These microcapsules can provide a controlled release of active ingredients, which is beneficial in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food industries, 2)Protection of Active Ingredients: The core-shell structure protects sensitive active ingredients from environmental factors such as light, oxygen, and moisture, enhancing their stability and shelf life. 3)Targeted Delivery: In medical applications, hybrid core-shell microcapsules can be designed to release their contents at specific sites within the body, improving the efficacy of treatments and reducing side effect
