Copper(II) phthalocyanine (CuPc) was modified by cationic surfactants as the core material, and the shell of the capsule was prepared by jelly fig and gelatin. The core-shell microcapsules were synthesized by condensation polymerization method in emulsion system. The particle size of microcapsules was affected by the concentration of SDS and the interface-tension between the emulsion and water phase. The mechanism of encapsulation was also investigated in this thesis. The morphology and particle size of the microcapsules were observed by Optical microscopy. In addition, chemical structure of the cationic surfactants modified CuPc was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR). In this study, the display ability of the microcapsules electrophoretic device was presented as appropriated electric power was applied.
