Abstract
The microencapsulated phase change material (MEPCM) contains n-pentadecane as core material and nanocellulose-reinforced silane-acrylate (NVS) as shell material synthesized by emulsion polymerization. Vinyl tri-methoxy silane (VTMS)-modified nanocellulose was used as a crosslinker (X-linker). The effect of novel crosslinking agent concentration on the phase change properties of microcapsules was examined. The pentadecane/NVS (MEPCMs) were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that microcapsules were synthesized successfully, and the best performance was obtained in MEPCM at 16% X-linker loading in shell composition. FT-IR indicates that there are no chemical reactions between the core and shell of the MEPCMs. The optical micrograph shows that with an increasing amount of silane acrylate-based X-linker in the emulsion recipe, the size of the MEPCM agglomerate was increased. The average diameter of MEPCM at 16% X-linker content is 0.5–2.6 μm investigated by SEM. The encapsulation efficiency and enthalpy of phase change of the MEPCM increase with X-linker contents. For MEPCM, the highest phase change enthalpy is 75.72 J/g with a maximum encapsulation efficiency of 58.8% at 16% X-linker content calculated by DSC parameters. This study is practically helpful for the development of thermoregulating composite materials.
期刊介绍:
"Polymer Bulletin" is a comprehensive academic journal on polymer science founded in 1988. It was founded under the initiative of the late Mr. Wang Baoren, a famous Chinese chemist and educator. This journal is co-sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society, the Institute of Chemistry, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology. It is a core journal and is publicly distributed at home and abroad.
"Polymer Bulletin" is a monthly magazine with multiple columns, including a project application guide, outlook, review, research papers, highlight reviews, polymer education and teaching, information sharing, interviews, polymer science popularization, etc. The journal is included in the CSCD Chinese Science Citation Database. It serves as the source journal for Chinese scientific and technological paper statistics and the source journal of Peking University's "Overview of Chinese Core Journals."
