Printable-Microencapsulated Ascorbic Acid for Personalized Topical Delivery.

ABSTRACT: This study presents the successful development of printable-microencapsulated ascorbic acid (AA) for personalized topical delivery using laser printing technology. Rice flour with a 10% AA content was selected as an encapsulation material. Hydrophobic nanosilica was used to create negative electrostatic charges on the microencapsulated surfaces via a high-speed mixture. This process facilitated the microencapsulated AA fabrication using a commercial laser printer and produced a well-patterned design with some minor print defects, such as banding and scattering. The amount of encapsulated AA per area was 0.28 mg/cm², and the RGB color code was 0,0,0. An emulsion carrier system comprising pentylene glycol (P5G) or diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (DEGEE), Tween 20, oleic acid, an
