Abstract
The present invention is directed to materials and method of encapsulating chemical agents. In particular, the present invention is directed to compositions and methods of encapsulating an acidifying agent in a water soluble polymer encapsulant.
Claims25
A composition, comprising:
- a water-soluble polymeric encapsulant;
- and
- an acidifying agent encapsulated in the water soluble polymer encapsulant.
A method, comprising:
- providing a composition, comprising:
- a water-soluble polymeric encapsulant;
- and
- an acidifying agent encapsulated in the water soluble polymer encapsulant;
- and
- modulating the pH of a portion of water by contacting the composition to the portion of water effective to cause at least partial dissolution of the water-soluble polymeric encapsulant effective to release the encapsulated acidifying agent to the portion of water.
