Preparation of n-Octadecane Nanocapsules by Using Interfacial Redox Initiation in Miniemulsion Polymerization

摘要

In recent years, various kinds of phase change material (PCM) as energy storage materials have been widely studied. Important features of PCM are high enthalpy change near temperature of use, high density, non-toxicity, low cost, and abundance. PCMs can be divided into organic and inorganic materials, and which are encapsulated as micro- or nano-size particular shapes with organic, inorganic, polymeric, and hybrid materials, in order to avoid leakage of PCM and enhance thermal responsibility.
