Micro/nano-encapsulated n-heptadecane with polystyrene shell for latent heat thermal energy storage (2014, background): “All of these advantages have facilitated it to be considered as shell material in the fabrication of new EPCMs [53–56].”
Types, methods, techniques, and applications for microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCM): A review (2016, methodology): “[136] used XRD patterns of n-octadecane, styrene and the nanoencapsulated PCM, suggesting that n-octadecane was successfully encapsulated by the shell of polystyrene.”
A review of microencapsulation methods of phase change materials (PCMs) as a thermal energy storage (TES) medium (2014, methodology): “One of the most used methods for the production of NEPCM is the emulsion polymerization technique [96,106,108–111] while the other methods such as interfacial polymerization [112–114] and sol-gel [107] methods have also been used.”
Nano-encapsulated organic phase change material based on copolymer nanocomposites for thermal energy storage (2014, methodology): “In addition, polystyrene was also employed to nano-encapsulated n-octadecane using ultrasonicassistant miniemulsion in-situ polymerization method [29,30], gelatin/acacia was used to micro-encapsulated paraffin using spray drying and complex coacervation method [31], melamineeformaldehyde to micro-en”
