Phase Change Materials (PCM) microcapsules with different shell compositions: Preparation, characterization and thermal stability (2010, methodology): “A typical microencapsulation process is the one which uses formaldehyde resins, like urea–formaldehyde resins [7,19,20] and melamine– formaldehyde resins [21–25].”
Micro-Encapsulated Phase Change Materials: A Review of Encapsulation, Safety and Thermal Characteristics (2016, methodology): “This method enables one to adjust the size of capsules, the size distribution and encapsulation ratio [154,155].”
Phase change materials for smart textiles – An overview (2008, background): “The most suitable chemical processes are associated with the simple or complex coacervation and interfacial (or in situ) polymerization techniques [71].”
