Abstract

A method for preparing microcapsules which comprises: PA0 dispersing a hydrophobic oily liquid containing a pre-wall former in a continuous aqueous phase, the aqueous phase containing a chain extender which comprises a water soluble polyfunctional compound capable of reacting with the pre-wall former upon dispersion of the hydrophobic oily liquid in the continuous aqueous phase; and PA0 forming capsule walls around the droplets of the hydrophobic oily liquid in the continuous aqueous phase.
