I have been looking at reports of researchers claiming to have loaded water soluble salts such as sodium carbonate in different carriers and capsules. I've been thinking about the possible mechanism that can allow such a feat, specifically in cases where the salt is in solution with the carrier and is then loaded (e.g vacuum loading). Would the salt recrustalize after drying? What about carriers such as halloysite nanotubes where different surfaces possess opposite charges. It's logical to assume that the ions would bind to different surfaces. In that case, can one claim to have loaded the salt in the nanotube? Is it just semantics?
Looking forward to your views on this matter.
After a brief experiment, I think loading or encapsulation of these salts in the traditional sense can be achieved by adjusting parameters such as temperature or concentration that can alter the solubility of the salts.

Poly urea is a water-insoluble coating material. You can coat water-soluble material using the Poly urea.

I would very much like to see articles on this topic. Please give me links.
Dear Aloke,
Thank you for your reply. I'm mainly interested in understanding the possible mechanisms for the encapsulation/immobilization of water soluble materials when the preparation method occurs in aqueous media.
Dear Yuri Mirgorod,
I have attempted and indirectly measured encapsulating water-soluble materials in calcium alginate capsules, reported here: Article Biological Self-Healing of Cement Paste and Mortar by Non-Ur...
I am currently pursuing a similar but more in-depth approach. what are you exactly interested in?
Mohammad Fahimizadeh
I do not see any encapsulation of water-soluble substances in your article. What is the point of encapsulating them if they dissolve well in the blood and are carried by the bloodstream to the right parts of our body. You have prepared a cement composition and are healing cracks.
Yuri Mirgorod
In that article, the nutrients and residual calcium (not crosslinked) )in the capsules are water soluble. Curiously, we observed their retention in the hydrogel capsules for an extended period. longer than I personally expected.
not sure why you are referencing the bloodstream.
Mohammad Fahimizadeh
Encapsulation is used primarily for the delivery of water-insoluble drugs into the body. Therefore, I am writing to you about blood flow. You wrote the phrase "the nutrients and residual calcium (not crosslinked)) in the capsules are water soluble." Think again about it. The metal calcium on contact with water can explode due to the release of hydrogen. Unfortunately, I do not have time to discuss more on this issue.
