Abstract

Novel microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs) with high encapsulation capacity and enhanced leakage-prevention performance were prepared by in situ polymerization. For these MEPCMs, paraffin and melamine-formaldehyde resin (MF) are respectively used as core and shell, and graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, which can be seen as extra protective screen, are situated at the interface between the core and the shell. Effects of GO on morphology, microstructure and properties of MEPCMs were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), laser diffraction particle analyzer, atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and paraffin leakage rate test. The results show that the fabricated MEPCMs with GO nanosheets have gradual increasing average diameters from 6.32 to 15.89μm with an increase content of GO, while the size of MEPCMs without GO is 5.63μm. When the time of leakage rate test is 50h, the MEPCMs prepared with 0.5mg/mL GO aqueous dispersion have considerably high encapsulation ratio of 93.9wt.%, and the leakage rate is reduced by 93.1% compared with those without GO. The high encapsulation capacity and enhanced leakage-prevention performance might be highly attractive for the application of MEPCMs.
