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.

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.

This paper demonstrates that β-CD which encloses industrialized paraffin, one of the phase change materials, is utilized to prevent the leak of the paraffin. The enthalpy of the phase change materials which are enclosed is studied by characterizing of DSC. The result shows that the enthalpy of paraffin which has been enclosed by β-CD is increased by 29%. The related research contents had not been reported in literature. This method, compared with the common encapsulation of paraffin by wall materials, like the urea formaldehyde resin, not only is a new exploration on the enclosure method and the increasing of the enthalpy of the phase change materials, but also meets the requirement of enviromental protection.

To prepare the phase change materials for efficient low-temperature latent heat storage, microcapsules with commercial solid paraffin were synthesized by using in-situ polymerization process. Liquid paraffin was used first as core materials since it facilitates the direct observation of containment by the shell of melamine-formaldehyde resin (MF resin), and examines easily the optimal synthesizing condition. The effects of emulsion processes, pre-polymerization conditions, shell material content and reaction time on the quality of microcapsules were investigated. The experimental investigations show that the optimal process of synthesizing liquid paraffin microcapsules is adoptable to that of solid paraffin microcapsules. The as-prepared solid paraffin microcapsules show high quality. The microcapsules surface was smooth and dense, and be free of any adhesion. The measurements show that in the microcapsules solid paraffin was well encapsulated by MF resin. The microcapsule size was almost within the range of 6~33 μm and most intense distribution at 23 μm. DSC measurements gave two endothermic peaks with initial phase change temperature at 35°C and 50°C respectively, and the total enthalpy was above 134 J/g.

Microcapsules were prepared by in situ polymerization of melamine-formaldehyde resin to form shell over oxygen resin droplets. Stirring rate, temperature, pH value as well as mass ratio of shell and core are the main parameters affecting the stability of microcapsules. High stirring rate leads to small size of microcapsules. The temperature influences the speed of the reaction and the morphology. The pH value decides whether the condensation reaction can take place. The size of microcapsules is about 15-61um.
