...Mai M. El Sawy; M.M. Elsawy Purpose This study aims to explore sustainable strategies for enhancing the stability of natural dyes through their encapsulation within inorganic matrices, with particular emphasis on structure–stability relationships governing degradation and performance. It addresses...

...Sinem Tumuk; Emel Yildiz Purpose This study aims to encapsulate paraffin-based n-docosane, classified as an organic phase change material (PCM), within a nanoscale melamine/formaldehyde shell via the in situ polymerization method to provide thermal comfort of the 100% combed single jersey fabric...

...Anshu Sharma; Anju Kumari Dhiman; Surekha Attri Purpose This study aims to encapsulate the crude carotene pigment isolated from waste portion of Cucurbita maxima with the help of different encapsulating agents through lyophilization to transform crude pigment into stable form for further...

...Zhiling Ma; Yajing Wen; Chunyan Zhang; Jing Wang Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of encapsulation pH and iron source on the anchorage mode and performance of iron oxide-encapsulated aluminium pigments. Design/methodology/approach The coloured waterborne aluminium...

... encapsulated into UV-curable resin via miniemulsion technique, using different types and component ratios of monomers and oligomers. Findings It was found that the monomer/oligomer ratio of 2:3 and the pigment/resin ratio of 2:1 gave the most stable miniemulsion dispersions and provided the most suitable...
