Abstract

Abstract: Microencapsulated phase change materials (MicroPCMs) are widely used for larent heat storage. The core and wall materials of MicroPCMs and their properties are reviewed in this paper. Several preparation methods including in-situ polymerization, interfacial polymerization, complex coacervation, suspension-like polymerization and spray drying are discussed and the applications of MicroPCMs in building, heat conduction, fiber fabric, military camouflage and electronic device cooling fields are summarized.

Key words: phase change material, microcapsules, preparation, application
