Preparation and characterization of novel MicroPCMs (microencapsulated phase-change materials) with hybrid shells via the polymerization of two alkoxy silanes

Li, Wenhong; Song, Guolin; Li, Shuhua; Yao, Youwei; … - In: Energy 70 (2014) C, pp. 298-306

MicroPCMs (microencapsulated phase-change materials) were successfully synthesized using MPS (3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate) and VTMS (vinyltrimethoxysilane) as raw materials for hybrid shells, and n-octadecane as core materials. DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) results show...

Microencapsulated n-octadecane with different methylmethacrylate-based copolymer shells as phase change materials for thermal energy storage

Qiu, Xiaolin; Li, Wei; Song, Guolin; Chu, Xiaodong; … - In: Energy 46 (2012) 1, pp. 188-199

Microcapsules containing n-octadecane with different methylmethacrylate (MMA (methyl methacrylate))-based copolymer shells were fabricated by a suspension-like polymerization. Butyl acrylate (BA), butyl methacrylate (BMA), lauryl methacrylate (LMA) and stearyl methacrylate (SMA) were employed as...
