MICROCAPSULES CONTAINING INORGANIC COLLOIDS AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

Incorporation of inorganic colloidal particles into an encapsulation dispersion results in microcapsules having polymer shell walls further comprising colloidal inorganic particles. Capsules prepared in this manner have been found to be smaller in size, have a narrower size distribution, and exhibit decreased shell wall permeability. Capsules prepared using these colloidal particle dispersions are particularly useful in carbonless imaging constructions such as those containing a fill solution of a color precursor in a hydrophobic solvent and form deeply colored images when combined with a color developer.
