13. The origin of the PU interfacial microencapsulation technique is in the agrochemical industry where this methodology is used for controlled release of insecticides. In this particular application one would indeed requires a certain rate of discharge of the active ingredient through the capsule walls; see: G. J. Mars, H. B. Scher, Controlled delivery of crop protecting agents, (Ed.: R. M. Wilkens), Taylor and Francis, London, 1990, p 65.

20. In the preparation of Pd(0)EnCat™ tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB) has been used to stabilize the Pd nanoparticles prepared prior to the polymerization step. However, the latter was carefully washed out from the encapsulated catalyst before it was used. Note that the surface activity of TOAB, according to our measurements, is an order of magnitude lower than that of Aliquat 336.
