dc.description.abstractMicrocapsules containing caprylic acid and polyethylacrylate shells were prepared using an emulsion polymerization technique for thermal energy storage applications. Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate was used as a crosslinking agent. The influence of the crosslinking agent concentration on the phase change properties of microcapsules was examined. The caprylic acid microcapsules (MicroPCMs) were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The results showed that microcapsules were synthesized successfully and that the best shell material:crosslinking agent concentration ratio was 1:0.2. The melting and freezing temperatures were measured through differential scanning calorimetry analysis and found to be 13.3 and 7.1 degrees C, respectively. The melting and crystallization heats were determined to be 77.3 and -77.0kJ/kg, and the mean particle diameter was 0.64m. The thermal cycling tests of the microcapsules were performed for 400 heating/cooling cycles, and the results indicate that the synthesized microcapsules have good thermal reliabilities. Air stability test proved that the thermal properties and physical form of microcapsules were not affected by air. We recommend the prepared thermal, air, and chemically stable caprylic acid microcapsules for thermal energy storage applications as novel microPCM with latent heat storage capacities and properties.
