Microencapsulation of PCMs with a styrene-methyl methacrylate copolymer shell by suspension-like polymerisation

Abstract

The microencapsulation of phase change materials (PCMs) by a suspension copolymerisation of styrene (St) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) has been studied. The influence of the monomers/paraffin and the MMA/St mass ratio on the encapsulation process and the physical properties of the resulting microcapsules has been studied. The thermal properties, morphology, chemical composition and particle size distribution of the microcapsules were characterised by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), optical microscopy (OM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and low angle laser light scattering (LALLS). It was found that the MMA/St mass ratio has a marked influence on the polymerisation rate, affecting the con
