The BIOCAP project aims to produce biodegradable and biobased microcapsules that can find applications in household, personal care and fabric care products. The microcapsules will be synthesized by interfacial polymerization in aqueous suspension using a combination of polymerization methods. Biodegradability will be assessed to establish a structure-property correlation. Initially, the postdoc candidate will synthesize biobased prepolymers carrying reactive functions. Secondly, the postdoc candidate will polymerize the prepolymers using click chemistry in organic solution, and characterize these polymers (Tg, gel content, swelling ratio in water and perfume). From the most promising synthons, the postdoc candidate will synthesize microcapsules (encapsulation of oils representative of perfumes) by interfacial polymerization of prepolymers by click chemistry in aqueous medium. The microcapsules will then be evaluated in terms of biodegradability, fragrance retention and mechanical fragrance release.
