Types, methods, techniques, and applications for microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCM): A review (2016, background): “For this reason, it is an essential test to evaluate the quality of the microcapsules to assure the no alteration on its geometrical profile after several cycles [172,173].”
New approach for sol–gel synthesis of microencapsulated n-octadecane phase change material with silica wall using sodium silicate precursor (2014, background): “These PCMcontaining microcapsules can also supply the large heat transfer areas and controllable changes in storage material volume when the phase change occurs [17,18].”
Microencapsulation of coco fatty acid mixture for thermal energy storage with phase change material (2006, methodology): “In previous studies, microencapsulated PCMs were prepared chemically by coacervation, complex coacervation and interfacial polymerization methods (Jahns, 1999; Hawlader et al., 2002) and physically by the spray drying method (Hawlader et al., 2003).”
A review of microencapsulation methods of phase change materials (PCMs) as a thermal energy storage (TES) medium (2014, methodology): “[43] performed both experiments and simulation to investigate the characteristics of MEPCMs prepared by complex coacervation method.”
