Summary

• Encapsulation and Controlled Release focuses on this rapidly developing field and presents a snap-shot of some of the most recent technological breakthroughs. It is a fascinating, multi-disciplinary subject, linking the physico-chemical nature of the encapsulant with the end-use and desired properties of the materials to be 'released'.
• Recent years have seen a growing intensity in the development and application of encapsulation techniques and this book gives an insight into the more important application areas, such as drugs, agro-chemicals, flavours, fragrances, the safe handling of materials and protection of materials from adverse external effects.
