Various microencapsulation techniques were evaluated for fabrication of thermonuclear fuel pellets for use in existing experimental facilities studying inertial confinement fusion and in future fusion-power reactors. Coacervation, spray drying, in situ polymerization, and physical microencapsulation methods were employed. Highly spherical, hollow polymeric shells were fabricated ranging in size from 20 to 7000 micron. In situ polymerization microencapsulation with poly(methyl methacrylate) provided large shells, but problems with local wall defects still must be solved. Extension to other polymeric systems met with limited success. Requirements for inertial confinement fusion targets are described, as are the methods that were used.
为了制造用于现有研究惯性约束聚变的实验设施以及未来聚变动力反应堆的热核燃料球粒，对各种微囊化技术进行了评估。采用了凝聚法、喷雾干燥法、原位聚合法和物理微囊化法。制备出了尺寸范围从20到7000微米的高度球形中空聚合物壳。用聚（甲基丙烯酸甲酯）进行原位聚合微囊化得到了较大的壳，但局部壁缺陷问题仍有待解决。扩展到其他聚合物体系取得的成功有限。文中描述了惯性约束聚变靶标的要求以及所使用的方法。
