Microwave-Assisted Preparation of PS Phase Change Microcapsules

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polymer phase change microcapsules were prepared through microwave-assisted emulsion polymerization, with the core of hexadecane, the shell of styrene, the emulsifier of sodium dodecyl sulfate, the initiator of potassium persulfate. A few of key factors which can influence the thermal performance and the encapsulation, such as emulsifiers, initiators, temperature and reaction time were investigated. FTIR and DSC were employed to characterize the structure, the phase transition temperature and latent heat.
