In this study, we prepared the functionalized Shampoo with three-type functionalized microcaples which were synthesized by microcapsulation, respectively. In detail, the functionalized microcapsule was included such as (1) the functionalized microcapsule with core-menthol and shell-melamine resin and (2) the functionalized microcapsule with core-menthol and shell-lecithin, and (3) the functionalized microcapsule with core-cinnamon oil and shell-lecithin, respectively. The size and morphology of the prepared microcapsules was evaluated via Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). From these results, the prepared microcapsules with size of 0.1~0.2 ㎛ and spherical morphology was confirmed. Furthermore, we applied the prepared Shampoo to treat hair. As results we confirmed that the scalp temperature was decreased about 3~4 ℃ compared to no treatment. This result may be considered that the core compounds are vaporize when the functionalized Shampoo is treated on scalp. We will determine the change of scalp pore, diameter of hair, and etc during treatment of the functionalized Shampoo.

Microcapsules containing the suspension of conducting materials such as carbon nanotube (CNT) or polyaniline (PANI) were prepared by in-situ polymerization of melamine and formaldehyde. Stable microcapsules were prepared and the mean diameter of the observed microcapsules was in the range of $10-20{\mu}m$. The surface morphology and chemical structure of microcapsules were investigated using optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The thermal properties of samples were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The conductivity of ruptured microcapsule containing the suspension of CNTs or PANIs in tetrachloroethylene and Isopar-G was measured. As the amount of CNTs and PANIs in the core of microcapsules increased, the measured current increased. Conductivity measurement results suggest that poly (melamine-formaldehyde) based core-shell microcapsules could be applied to self-healing electronic materials systems, where CNTs or PANIs bridge a broken circuit upon release.
