Product Information
This study focuses on a developing field and presents a snap-shot of some of the most recent technological break-throughs. It is a multi-disciplinary subject, linking the physicochemical nature of the encapsulant with the end-use and desired properties of the materials to be released. Recent years have seen a growing intensity in the development and application of encapsulation techniques and this book gives an insight into the more important application areas, such as drugs, agrochemicals, flavours, fragrances, the safe handling of materials, and protection of materials from adverse external effects. The study combines basic information on the subject with details of the latest research, making it suitable for both newcomers to the field and those with experience of encapsulation technology. It should be of interest to those working on water-soluble or dispersible polymers, as well as chemists and biochemists in diverse areas.Product Identifiers
