Green preparation of phase-change solar container polymer microcapsules

Herein, we fabricated photothermal PCM microcapsules with melamine-formaldehyde resin (MF) as shell using cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) and graphene oxide (GO) co-stabilized Pickering emulsion droplets as templates.. The performance of solar-thermal conversion systems can be improved by incorporation of encapsulated phase change materials. In this study, for the first time, Crodatherm TM 60 as a phase change material (PCM) was successfully encapsulated within polyurea as the shell supporting material. While. . In this study, a new multi-criteria phase change material (PCM) selection methodology is presented, which considers relevant factors from an application and material handling point of view, such as hygroscopicity, metal compatibility (corrosion), level hazard, cost, and. . In this study, a new.
