Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the production of functional coatings for the controlled release of volatile agents. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to capsules, in particular microcapsules or nanocapsules, chemically functionalised with photocatalytic nanomaterials upon the internal or external surface of the wall of the capsule. The capsule, by solar action or artificial light, can have the same spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, and can release an active agent. The capsule can also transport the active agent, which has photocatalytic properties. The capsule has an external diameter of 0.1-500 μm and can be formed by a wall and a nucleus to lodge the active agent. The present disclosure further relates to a method of obtainment of the capsules.

Claim (Index 1):
A capsule for transporting an active agent having photocatalytic properties, the capsule having an external diameter from 0.05-500 \u03bcm, and the capsule comprising:\n a capsule wall; a nucleus containing at least one active agent; wherein the capsule wall comprises a polymeric film selected from the group consisting of parylene, poly(p-xylene), poly(lactic acid), poly(\u03b5-caprolactone), polyoxyethylenated derivatives, phthalocyanine, melamine-formaldehyde, polyurethane, polysulfone, cellulose acetate, acrylic polymers, collagen, chitosan, and mixtures thereof, wherein the polymeric film comprises, upon its external surface, nanomaterials chemically functionalised with a photocatalytic compound selected from the group consisting of: TiO2, WO3, WS2, Nb2O5, MoO, MoS2, V2O5, MgF2, Cu2O, NaBiO3, NaTaO3, SiO2, RuO2, BiVO4, Bi2WO6, Bi12TiO20. NiO\u2014K4NB6O17, SrTiO3, Sr2NbO7, Sr2TaO7, BaTiO3, BaTaTi2O5, ZnO, ZrO2, SnO2, ZnS, CaBi2O4, Fe2O3, Al2O3, Bi2O6, Bi2S3, CdS, CdSe, and mixtures thereof, and wherein the at least one active agent is in a liquid, solid or gaseous state.
