Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a nanocapsule of a blocked isocyanate encapsulated within a polymeric nanosphere. In one aspect, the polymeric nanosphere is functionalized. Free isocyanate functionality is released upon thermal annealing or UV exposure of the nanospheres containing the blocked isocyanate. This present invention also provides a novel method for encapsulating isocyanates in aqueous media. In one aspect, the method comprises miniemulsion polymerization. The thermally or UV deblocked isocyanate can be used as an active functional group for many potential applications.
