The present invention relates to crosslinked core-shell microcapsule slurry by a new method of preparing it, the core-shell microcapsules per se as well as their application in perfuming compositions and perfumed consumer products.
One of the problems faced by the perfumery industry lies in the relatively rapid loss of olfactive benefit provided by odoriferous compounds due to their volatility, particularly that of “top-notes”. In order to tailor the release rates of volatiles, delivery systems such as microcapsules containing a perfume are needed to protect and later release the core payload when triggered. A key requirement from the industry regarding these systems is to survive suspension in challenging bases without physically dissociating or degrading. This is referred to as stability for the delivery system. For instance, fragranced personal and household cleansers containing high levels of aggressive surfactant detergents are very challenging for the stability of microcapsules.
Polyurea and polyurethane-based microcapsule slurry are widely used for example in perfumery industry for instance as they provide a long lasting pleasant olfactory effect after their applications on different substrates. Those microcapsules have been widely disclosed in the prior art (see for example WO 2007/004166 or EP 2300146 from the Applicant).
Moreover, in addition to the performance in terms of stability and olfactive performance, the consumer demand for eco-friendly delivery systems is more and more important and is driving the development of new delivery systems.
There is therefore still a need to provide new microcapsules using more eco-friendly materials, while not compromising on the performance of the microcapsules, in particular in terms of stability in a challenging medium such as a consumer product base, as well as in delivering a good performance in terms of active ingredient delivery, e.g. olfactive performance in the case of perfuming ingredients.
The present invention is proposing a solution to the above-mentioned problem by providing new microcapsules with dual crosslinked polymeric shell and a process for preparing said microcapsules.
Unless stated otherwise, percentages (%) are meant to designate percent by weight of a composition.
By “hydrophobic material”, it is meant a material which forms a two-phase dispersion when mixed with water. According to the invention, the hydrophobic material can be “inert” material like solvents or active ingredients. According to an embodiment, the hydrophobic material is a hydrophobic active ingredient.
By “active ingredient”, it is meant a single compound or a combination of ingredients.
By “perfume oil”, it is meant a single perfuming or a mixture of several perfuming compounds.
By “consumer product” or “end-product” it is meant a manufactured product ready to be distributed, sold and used by a consumer.
A “microcapsule”, or the similar, in the present invention has a morphology that can vary from a core-shell to a matrix type. According to one embodiment, it is of the core-shell type. In this case, the microcapsules comprise a core based on a hydrophobic material, typically a perfume, and cross-linked polymeric shell surrounding the oil core. Indeed, according to the invention, a dual cross-linked shell is obtained via the polymerization of the multifunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomer, preferably the (meth)acrylate monomer and/or vinyl monomer, and the reaction between the multifunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomer, preferably the (meth)acrylate monomer and/or vinyl monomer, and the multifunctional nucleophile monomer.
Microcapsules have a microcapsule size distribution in the micron range (e.g. a mean diameter) comprised between about 1 and 3000 microns, preferably comprised between 1 and 1000 microns, more preferably between 1 and 500 microns, and even more preferably between 5 and 50 microns.
By “particle size” it is meant an average diameter of particles based on size distribution measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) using Zetasizer Nano ZS equipment from Malvern Instruments Ltd., UK when particles are dispersed into a water phase.
By “microcapsules size” it is meant the volume mean diameter (D[4,3]) of the relevant capsules, capsules suspension as obtained by laser light scattering of a diluted sample in a Malvern Mastersizer 3000.
By “PEG” it is meant polyethylene glycol. A person skilled in the art is aware that PEG is a polyether compound. A person skilled in the art is aware that PEG also refers to the analogously used terms polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyoxyethylene (POE).

According to any one of the above embodiments said perfume oil can be a perfuming ingredient alone or a mixture of ingredients in the form of a perfuming composition. As a “perfuming ingredient” it is meant here a compound, which is used for the primary purpose of conferring or modulating an odor. In other words such an ingredient, to be considered as being a perfuming one, must be recognized by a person skilled in the art as being able to at least impart or modify in a positive or pleasant way the odor of a composition, and not just as having an odor. For the purpose of the present invention, perfume oil also includes a combination of perfuming ingredients with substances which together improve, enhance or modify the delivery of the perfuming ingredients, such as perfume precursors, emulsions or dispersions, as well as combinations which impart an additional benefit beyond that of modifying or imparting an odor, such as long-lastingness, blooming, malodor counteraction, antimicrobial effect, microbial stability, pest control.
The nature and type of the perfuming ingredients present in the oil phase do not warrant a more detailed description here, which in any case would not be exhaustive, the skilled person being able to select them on the basis of its general knowledge and according to intended use or application and the desired organoleptic effect. In general terms, these perfuming ingredients belong to chemical classes as varied as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, ethers, acetates, nitriles, terpenoids, nitrogenous or sulfurous heterocyclic compounds and essential oils, and said perfuming co-ingredients can be of natural or synthetic origin. Many of these co-ingredients are in any case listed in reference texts such as the book by S. Arctander, Perfume and Flavor Chemicals, 1969, Montclair, New Jersey, USA, or its more recent versions, or in other works of a similar nature, as well as in the abundant patent literature in the field of perfumery.
In particular one may cite perfuming ingredients which are commonly used in perfume formulations, such as:

It is also understood that said ingredients may also be compounds known to release in a controlled manner various types of perfuming compounds also known as properfume or profragrance. Non-limiting examples of suitable proper fumes may include 4-(dodecylthio)-4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-butanone, 4-(dodecylthio)-4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-butanone, 3-(dodecylthio)-1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-1-butanone, 2-(dodecylthio)octan-4-one, 2-phenylethyl oxo(phenyl)acetate, 3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl oxo(phenyl)acetate, (Z)-hex-3-en-1-yl oxo(phenyl)acetate, 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-yl hexadecanoate, bis(3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl) succinate, (2-((2-methylundec-1-en-1-yl)oxy)ethyl)benzene, 1-methoxy-4-(3-methyl-4-phenethoxybut-3-en-1-yl)benzene, (3-methyl-4-phenethoxybut-3-en-1-yl)benzene, 1-(((Z)-hex-3-en-1-yl)oxy)-2-methylundec-1-ene, (2-((2-methylundec-1-en-1-yl)oxy)ethoxy)benzene, 2-methyl-1-(octan-3-yloxy)undec-1-ene, 1-methoxy-4-(1-phenethoxyprop-1-en-2-yl)benzene, 1-methyl-4-(1-phenethoxyprop-1-en-2-yl)benzene, 2-(1-phenethoxyprop-1-en-2-yl)naphthalene, (2-phenethoxyvinyl)benzene, 2-(1-((3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-yl)oxy)prop-1-en-2-yl)naphthalene, (2-((2-pentylcyclopentylidene)methoxy)ethyl)benzene, 4-allyl-2-methoxy-1-((2-methoxy-2-phenylvinyl)oxy)benzene, (2-((2-heptylcyclopentylidene)methoxy)ethyl)benzene, 1-isopropyl-4-methyl-2-((2-pentylcyclopentylidene)methoxy)benzene, 2-methoxy-1-((2-pentylcyclopentylidene)methoxy)-4-propylbenzene, 3-methoxy-4-((2-methoxy-2-phenylvinyl)oxy)benzaldehyde, 4-((2-(hexyloxy)-2-phenylvinyl)oxy)-3-methoxybenzaldehyde or a mixture thereof.
The perfuming ingredients may be dissolved in a solvent of current use in the perfume industry. The solvent is preferably not an alcohol. Examples of such solvents are diethyl phthalate, isopropyl myristate, Abalyn® (rosin resins, available from Eastman), benzyl benzoate, ethyl citrate, limonene or other terpenes, or isoparaffins. Preferably, the solvent is very hydrophobic and highly sterically hindered, like for example Abalyn® or benzyl benzoate. Preferably the perfume comprises less than 30% of solvent. More preferably the perfume comprises less than 20% and even more preferably less than 10% of solvent, all these percentages being defined by weight relative to the total weight of the perfume. Most preferably, the perfume is essentially free of solvent.
According to a particular embodiment, the perfume comprises at least 35% of perfuming ingredients having a log P above 3.
Log P is the common logarithm of estimated octanol-water partition coefficient, which is known as a measure of lipophilicity.
The Log P values of many perfuming compound have been reported, for example, in the Pomona92 database, available from Daylight Chemical Information Systems, Inc. (Daylight CIS), Irvine, Calif., which also contains citations to the original literature. Log P values are most conveniently calculated by the “CLOGP” program, also available from Daylight CIS. This program also lists experimental log P values when they are available in the Pomona92 database. The “calculated log P” (cLog P) is determined by the fragment approach of Hansch and Leo (cf., A. Leo, in Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 4, C. Hansch, P. G. Sammens, J. B. Taylor and C. A. Ramsden, Eds., p. 295, Pergamon Press, 1990). The fragment approach is based on the chemical structure of each perfume oil ingredient, and takes into account the numbers and types of atoms, the atom connectivity, and chemical bonding. The cLog P values, which are the most reliable and widely used estimates for this physicochemical property, are preferably used instead of the experimental Log P values in the selection of perfuming compounds which are useful in the present invention.
In a particular embodiment, the perfume oil comprises at least 40 wt. %, preferably at least 50 wt. %, more preferably at least 60 wt. % of ingredients having a log P above 3, preferably above 3.5 and even more preferably above 3.75.
Preferably, the perfume oil contains less than 10 wt. % of its own weight of primary alcohols, less than 15 wt. % of its own weight of secondary alcohols and less than 20% of its own weight of tertiary alcohols. Advantageously, the perfume used in the invention does not contain any primary alcohols and contains less than 15 wt. % of secondary and tertiary alcohols.
According to a particular embodiment, the perfume comprises at least 20 wt. %, preferably at least 25 wt. %, more preferably at least 40 wt. % of Bulky materials of groups 1 to 6, preferably 3 to 6.
The term Bulky materials is herein understood as perfuming ingredients having a high steric hindrance, i.e. having a substitution pattern which provides high steric hindrance and thus the Bulky materials are in particular those from one of the following groups:
The term nodes as understood in this context means any atom which is able to provide at least two, preferably at least 3, more preferably 4, bonds to further atoms. Particular examples of nodes as herein understood are carbon atoms (up to 4 bonds to further atoms), nitrogen atoms (up to 3 bonds to further atoms), oxygen atoms (up to 2 bonds to further atoms) and sulfur (up to 2 bonds to further atoms). Particular examples of further atoms as understood in this context could be carbon atoms, nitrogen atoms, sulfur atoms, oxygen atoms and hydrogen atoms.
Examples of ingredients from each of these groups are:
Preferably, the perfume comprises at least 30%, preferably at least 50%, more preferably at least 60% of ingredients selected from Groups 1 to 7, as defined above. More preferably said perfume comprises at least 30%, preferably at least 50% of ingredients from Groups 3 to 7, as defined above. Most preferably said perfume comprises at least 30%, preferably at least 50% of ingredients from Groups 3, 4, 6 or 7, as defined above.

Preferably, the perfume used in the invention contains less than 10% of its own weight of primary alcohols, less than 15% of its own weight of secondary alcohols and less than 20% of its own weight of tertiary alcohols. Advantageously, the perfume used in the invention does not contain any primary alcohols and contains less than 15% of secondary and tertiary alcohols.
According to an embodiment, the oil phase (or the oil core) comprises:
A “density balancing material” should be understood as a material having a density preferably greater than 1.07 g/cm3 and having preferably low or no odor.
The density of a component is defined as the ratio between its mass and its volume (g/cm3).
Several methods are available to determine the density of a component.
One may refer for example to the ISO 298:1998 method to measure d20 densities of essential oils.
The odor threshold concentration of a perfuming compound is determined by using a gas chromatograph (“GC”). Specifically, the gas chromatograph is calibrated to determine the exact volume of the perfume oil ingredient injected by the syringe, the precise split ratio, and the hydrocarbon response using a hydrocarbon standard of known concentration and chain-length distribution. The air flow rate is accurately measured and, assuming the duration of a human inhalation to last 12 seconds, the sampled volume is calculated. Since the precise concentration at the detector at any point in time is known, the mass per volume inhaled is known and hence the concentration of the perfuming compound. To determine the threshold concentration, solutions are delivered to the sniff port at the back-calculated concentration. A panelist sniffs the GC effluent and identifies the retention time when odor is noticed. The average across all panelists determines the odor threshold concentration of the perfuming compound.

The nature of high impact perfume raw materials having a Log T<-4 and density balancing material having a density greater than 1.07 g/cm3 are described in WO2018115250, the content of which are included by reference.
The term “biocide” refers to a chemical substance capable of killing living organisms (e.g. microorganisms) or reducing or preventing their growth and/or accumulation. Biocides are commonly used in medicine, agriculture, forestry, and in industry where they prevent the fouling of, for example, water, agricultural products including seed, and oil pipelines. A biocide can be a pesticide, including a fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, algicide, molluscicide, miticide and rodenticide; and/or an antimicrobial such as a germicide, antibiotic, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiprotozoal and/or antiparasite.
As used herein, a “pest control agent” indicates a substance that serves to repel or attract pests, to decrease, inhibit or promote their growth, development or their activity. Pests refer to any living organism, whether animal, plant or fungus, which is invasive or troublesome to plants or animals, pests include insects notably arthropods, mites, spiders, fungi, weeds, bacteria and other microorganisms.

In a particular embodiment, the hydrophobic solvent has Hansen Solubility Parameters compatible with entrapped perfume oil.
The term “Hansen solubility parameter” is understood refers to a solubility parameter approach proposed by Charles Hansen used to predict polymer solubility and was developed around the basis that the total energy of vaporization of a liquid consists of several individual parts. To calculate the “weighted Hansen solubility parameter” one must combine the effects of (atomic) dispersion forces, (molecular) permanent dipole-permanent dipole forces, and (molecular) hydrogen bonding (electron exchange). The weighted Hansen solubility parameter” is calculated as (δD2+δP2+δH2)0.5, wherein δD is the Hansen dispersion value (also referred to in the following as the atomic dispersion fore), δP is the Hansen polarizability value (also referred to in the following as the dipole moment), and δH is the Hansen Hydrogen-bonding (“h-bonding”) value (also referred to in the following as hydrogen bonding). For a more detailed description of the parameters and values, see Charles Hansen, The Three Dimensional Solubility Parameter and Solvent Diffusion Coefficient, Danish Technical Press (Copenhagen, 1967).
