Abstract
Nontoxic, low-cost microcapsule phase change materials (MicroPCMs) were successfully manufactured via suspension polymerization, in which n-dodecanol was employed as the core material and crosslinked polymethyl methacrylate as the wall material. Alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (OP-10), polysorbate-20 (Tween-20), sodium salt of styrene-maleic anhydride polymer (SMA), sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS), and hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (1631) were employed as emulsifiers to investigate the effects of the type and amount of emulsifier on MicroPCMs. In addition, the effects of different types of crosslinking agents on the fabrication of MicroPCMs were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the micro-morphology of MicroPCMs. The chemical structure of the MicroPCMs was detected via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The thermal properties and thermal stability of the MicroPCMs were analyzed using a differential scanning calorimeter and a thermal gravimetric analyzer, respectively. Particle size distributions of the MicroPCMs were measured using a particle size analyzer. The results demonstrate that MicroPCMs with regular morphology were prepared when the mass ratio of the SMA to the oil phase was 3%, and the latent heat and yield of the MicroPCMs were 80.29 J g−1 and 84%, respectively. Furthermore, the MicroPCMs were successfully synthesized using pentaerythritol triacrylate containing the hydroxyl group as the crosslinking agent with an average particle size of 14.18 μm and excellent thermal stability.
