Abstract

Microcapsules having hard, thick walls are formed by dispersing an oily solution containing a crosslinking agent in an aqueous solution, and forming a polysalt in the aqueous solution, the polysalt including a high molecular weight polyanion and a low molecular weight polycationic polyamine having a functionality of at least three. The polyanion is preferably casein. The microcapsules may be used in a CB ink for preparing carbonless copy paper.
