    Abstract The encapsulation of bluing agents in biodegradable polymeric capsules is an emerging option in laundry detergents sector to substitute formaldehyde-based polymers, because they are non-biodegradable, carcinogenic and toxic. In this work, we present for the first time the successful encapsulation of a blue dye in biodegradable capsules which shell was formed by an alginate hydrogel and a polyethylene glycol network. Different types of capsules were synthesized (addition or not of the diacrylate monomer) and irradiation of the crosslinking solution at different times. Furthermore, a deep characterization of each type of capsules was performed (chemical and morphological characterization, assessment of their mechanical and thermal properties, evaluation of their biodegradability), noting that the incorporation of the diacrylate monomer (PEGDMA) and the two different irradiation times selected substantially affected the final properties of the capsules. The obtained results will serve to comprehend how the dye can be released from the capsules.

    Abstract Beads based on a mannuronate(M)-rich alginate (86 % M units) were prepared by adding the polysaccharide solution to a crosslinking bath containing different concentrations (0.5, 2 and 10 wt%) of XCl₂ where X = Ca, Cu or Zn. Primarily focus was on Zn, due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial capabilities. The beads were characterized by Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Fourier-Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and compression tests. The crosslinking agent significantly influenced the properties of the resulting beads. Specifically, Ca-based beads exhibited a smoother surface, while Cu- and Zn-based beads appeared rougher. Interestingly, Zn-based beads displayed a core-shell structure. Young moduli ranged from 3500 and 7000 MPa, with the highest values observed for Zn-beads. SAXS investigation at 0.5 wt% XCl₂ suggested increase in the densely packed domains amount in the order: Ca < Cu < Zn. Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) showed that the coordination number was 4.3 ± 0.4 for Cu, and 4.0 ± 0.2 and 1.1 ± 0.1 for Zn in 0.5 wt% XCl₂ alginate xerogels, in agreement with reported Density Functional Calculations on Cu²⁺– and Zn²⁺–MM complexes. The results from FT-IR, compositional analysis and EXAFS collectively suggested a bridging coordination for these systems.

    Abstract In this paper, we report on the preparation and characterization of membranes out of two side-chain liquid crystalline copolymers, dendronized at two different extents (20 and 40%, CP20 and CP40, respectively). The membranes were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), contact angle (CA) analysis, and water uptake. Moreover, transport properties were studied by methanol and proton conductivity experiment and by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). For the sake of comparison, the behavior of the grafted copolymers was compared with the unmodified copolyether CP0 and with Nafion 117. Results demonstrated that in CP20 and CP40, cation transport depends on the presence of defined cationic channels, not affected by water presence; the comparison between LSV experiments performed with different alkaline cations suggests that CP40 possesses channels with larger diameters and better-defined inner structures.

    Abstract In this article, we synthesized a novel dendritic 2-oxazoline, 2-(3,4,5-tris(4-dodecyloxybenzyloxy)phenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazole), and its amide precursor N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3,4,5-tris(4-dodecyloxybenzyloxy)benzamide. Of the distinct synthetic routes explored, it was established that the direct amidation of esters with sodium methoxide followed by the dehydrative cyclisation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone as oxidizing agent and triphenylphosphine was the most efficient route to synthesize the dendritic 2-oxazoline. Besides, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3,4,5-tris(4-dodecyloxybenzyloxy)benzamide exhibited a monotropic columnar mesophase, whilst the dendritic 2-oxazoline does not exhibited a liquid crystalline mesophase. At the end, the first attempts to polymerize the 2-oxazoline monomer via cationic ring opening polymerization showed promising results. Therefore, the dendritic 2-oxazoline could be used as a mesogenic monomer in the synthesis of side-chain liquid-crystalline polyoxazolines that might self-assembly into columnar structures.

    Abstract In the field of encapsulation, microcapsules containing perfume have emerged as effective vehicles for delivering active ingredients across various applications. The present study employed a multivariate analysis framework to examine polyacrylate microcapsules for household products synthesized using different acrylate monomers.

    Abstract Plastics make our lives easier in many ways; however, if they are not appropriately disposed of or recycled, they may end up in the environment where they stay for centuries and degrade into smaller and smaller pieces, called microplastics. Each year, approximately 42000 tonnes of microplastics end up in the environment when products containing them are used. According to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) one of the significant sources of microplastics are microcapsules formulated in home care and consumer care products. As part of the EU's plastics strategy, ECHA has proposed new regulations to ban intentionally added microplastics starting from 2022. It means that the current cross-linked microcapsules widely applied in consumer goods must be transformed into biodegradable shell capsules. The aim of this review is to provide the readers with a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of recent developments in the art of microencapsulation. Thus, considering the chemical structure of the capsule shell's materials, we discuss whether microcapsules should also be categorized as microplastic and therefore, feared and avoided or whether they should be used despite the persisting concern.
