What is the easiest way to microencapsulate paraffin plus solid nanoparticles as core to further add it to cement?

If i go for a polymer to form the shell which would that be best?

Microemulsion would be better or spray drying could be used?

Dear Fernando, I reccomend to you the technique High internal phase emulsion as templating (HIPES) using the paraffin with the nanoparticles as the disperse phase and the polymer as continuous phase, so you can have in the core the paraffin and the polymer as shell.

Darío.
