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...

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...
