Study on Energy Saving Coatings with Phase Change Material

Abstract:

Microcapsule phase change materials were synthesized by using melamine-urea resin as shell, lauryl alcohol and butyl stearate as core. The energy saving coating was prepared by blending the microcapsules in them. The morphology of microcapsule was checked by SEM. The heat storage capacities of different coatings were detected by Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). The results showed that the latent heat of microcapsule is about 202.6J/g with good heat accumulation effect, the heat storage capacity of the coating is the greatest when the film material is acrylic resin.
