The experiments indicate that when the molar ratio of 2,4-hexadiyn- 1,6-bis(ethylurea)/SiO2/ammonia is 1:3:3.5 and temperature is 40℃ , the obtained microcapsules are well coated with the best monodispersity. Such sustained-release and hydrophilic microcapsules have very good prospects as a novel time-temoerature chromatic indicator.展开更多
