This project synthesizes Urea-formaldehyde microcapsules containing n-tetradecane, using in situ polymerization at agitation rate of 600rpm. Both optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy show the rough surface and that n-tetradecane migrate out of its shell resulting in flatten the microc...
