This invention relates to a process for encapsulation and particularly for the preparation of microcapsules having a capsule wall of a solid polymeric substance enclosing a water-immiscible material, which process comprises preparing a solution of a first reactive component required to form the capsule wall in the water-immiscible material, then dispersing the mixture in an aqueous medium containing a surfactant which is a salt of a partial ester of a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, to form an oil-in-water emulsion, and subsequently adding a second reactive component required to form the capsule wall which is complementary to the first one and reacts with it under the mixing conditions, whereby a solid polymeric wall is formed about the dispersed water-immiscible material. The resulting stable aqueous suspension of microcapsules can either be used directly or after dilution with water, or the microcapsules can be separated from the aqueous phase.
