Microencapsulation Technology and Its Application in Polymer Materials

The development of microencapsulation technology in recent years is reviewed. The preparation methods for microcapsules are summarized, and the application of the microencapsulation technology in the improvement of self-healing, toughening, flame retardancy and friction and wear reduction properties of polymer materials are described emphatically. In addition, the prospects of the synergistic effects of microcapsules and other additives in multiple composite materials are suggested.
