Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention relates to a method for forming hollow silica-based particles suitable for containing one or more active ingredients or for containing other smaller particles which may include one or more active ingredients. The method comprises preparing an emulsion including a continuous phase that is polar or non-polar and a dispersed phase comprising droplets including (i) a polar active ingredient when the continuous phase is non-polar or (ii) a non-polar active ingredient when the continuous phase is polar; and adding a silica precursor to the emulsion such that the silica precursor can be emulsion templated on the droplets to form hollow silica-based particles. The silica precursor has the general formula (I): R 1 x —Si—(OR 2 ) y , wherein R 1 is selected from substituted and unsubstituted alkyl, substituted and unsubstituted aryl, alcohols, amines, amides, aldehydes, acids, esters, and functional groups having an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond, R 2 is an alkyl group, x+y=4, and y=1, 2 or 3. The —OR 2 group is a hydrolyzable organic group that exhibits an ability to form a silicon-oxygen bond chain as a result of hydrolysis and condensation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for forming silica-based particles, the method comprising: (a) preparing an emulsion including a cationic polymer and having a continuous phase that is polar or nonpolar, and a dispersed phase comprising droplets including (i) one or more polar active ingredients when the continuous phase is non-polar or (ii) one or more non-polar active ingredients when the continuous phase is polar; (b) adding a first silica precursor to the emulsion such that…
