Microencapsulated n-octadecane (MicroC18) and doped with thermochromatic powders (TC-MicroC18) were prepared with melamine-formaldehyde (M-F) resin as the wall via in-situ polymerization. The chemical structure and thermal behavior of microcapsules were investigated using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Experimental results show that 63 wt% n-C18 has been incorporated into microcapsules, and the obvious thermochromatic effect of TC-MicroC18 is displayed with temperature changing. The structure-properties of TC-MicroC18 also is discussed in detail from the aspect of molecular structure.

In this study, phase change microcapsules were prepared by in situ polymerization using paraffin as core material, poly(MMA -co- MAA) as shell material, Tween60/span60 as emulsifier. The surface morphology, thermal properties and particle size distribution of the prepared microcapsules were investigated by using SEM, TGA, DSC and ELS. The effects of paraffin core content and amount of emulsifier on the properties of microcapsules were studied.

Microcapsules containing paraffin phase change materials with MMA-MAA copolymer shell were synthesised by in situ polymerization. The Structure, diameter, encapsulation ratio of paraffin and thermal properties of the prepared microcapsules were investigated by using FTIR, ELS particle size analyzer, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimetic analysis (TGA). This encapsulated phase change paraffin could have good potential for energy storage.

N-octadecane microcapsules phase change materials(MicroPCMs) were prepared by thein-situ polymerization method using n-octadecane as core materials, urea-formaldehyde resin as shellmaterials respectively. Melamine–formaldehyde (MF) microcapsules have been widely applied inmany functional materials. Free formaldehyde content are important safetyfactor determining the survival of the microcapsules during fabrication andapplication. In this study, the formaldehyde content of n-octadecane MicroPCMs decrease to 0.35g/Kg which even lower than the standard EuropeanE3 level (0.6g/Kg) through regulation the synthesis conditions such as urea/formaldehyderatio of weight from 1:2 to 1:1.6, urea batch feeding three times ,curing endpH value to 1.0-1.5,reactive time extend to 4h,addition melamine and PVA.

Microencapsulated phase change materials (microPCMs) contain paraffin was fabricated by in-situ polymerization using methanol-modified melamine-formaldehyde (MMF) as shell material. The shell of microPCMs was sooth and compact with global shape, its thickness was not greatly affected by the core/shell ratio and emulsion stirring rate. More shell material in microPCMs could enhance the thermal stability and provide higher compact condition for core material. After a 100-times thermal cycling treatment, the microPCMs contain paraffin also nearly did not change the phase change behaviors of PCM. With the increasing of weight contents of microPCMs in gypsum board, the thermal conductivity (λ) values of composites had decreased. The simulation of temperature tests proved that the microPCMs/gypsum composite could store the time-dependent and intermittent solar energy, which did not necessarily meet the energy needs for space heating at all times.

Hexadecane microcapsule phase change materials were prepared by the in-situ polymerization method using hexadecane as core materials, urea-formaldehyde resin and urea-formaldehyde resin modified with melamine as shell materials respectively. Effect of melamine on the properties of microcapsules was studied by FTIR, biomicroscopy (UBM), TGA and HPLC. The influences of system concentration, agitation speed and mass ratio of wall to core were also investigated. The results indicated that hexadecane was successfully coated by the two types of shell materials. The addition of melamine into the urea-formaldehyde resin microcapsule reduced microcapsule particle size and microencapsulation efficiency. The influences of factors such as system concentration, agitation speed and mass ratio of wall to core to different wall materials microcapsules presented different variety trends of the microcapsule particle size.

The phase change materials (PCMs) can absorb, store or release large latent heat over a defined temperature range while the materials change phase or state, so they can be potentially used in thermal energy storage. In this paper, a series of microencapsulated phase change materials (MicroPCMs) with n-octadecane and n-dodecanol as core were successfully fabricated respectively, where the styrene-based copolymer, acrylic based copolymer, melamine-formaldehyde resin and polyurea were selected as shell materials. The morphology of these MicroPCMs was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the core-shell structure and the shell thickness of microcapsules were also characterized by SEM. In addition, the phase change properties of MicroPCMs were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Furthermore, thermal-regulated calcium alginate fiber was produced by adding MicroPCMs in wet-spinning process; and the effects of various types of MicroPCMs on fiber was discussed.

Microencapsulated phase change materials were prepared by the interfacial polymerization method with polyurethane resin as the shell and disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate as the core. The factors which affect the diameter distribution, surface morphology and thermal properties of microencapsules were investigated by the means of SEM, DSC and TG. The results show that the diameter distribution is uniform and the microencapsules have high compactness. The particle size is centralize with the stirring rate of 8000r/m and emulsifying time for 30 minutes. The DSC results show that the melting point of the phase change material does not have much change and phase change thermal storage is obvious
