Abstrakt: Melamine resin microcapsules were prepared by the batch method and microreactor method using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 1.6R6A-3.5AA as emulsifiers. They contained about 50% toluene as indicated by thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The mean sizes of the microcapsules obtained by using the microreactor method with SDS and with 1.6R6A-3.5AA were 462 ± 199 and 147 ± 31 nm, respectively. Microcapsules prepared by using a microreactor showed smaller particle diameters and a narrower particle size distribution than those obtained using a batch reactor.
