    Abstract: A biocide-encapsulated microcapsule for use in paint includes a hydrophobic core formed by polymerization of a hydrophobic monomer comprising an unsaturated bond in presence of a free radical initiator; a cross-linking hydrophilic shell adapted to enclose the hydrophobic core and formed by polymerization of a hydrophilic monomer comprising an unsaturated bond and another cross-linking agent; and a biocide being a hydrophobic compound. The hydrophobic core and the cross-linking hydrophilic shell enclose the dispersed biocide. Therefore, the biocide is released from the microcapsule core in the long term such that a resultant dried paint prevents biofouling in the long term.
