Optimizing the Preparation of Semi-Crystalline Paraffin/Poly(Urea-Formaldehyde) Microcapsules for Thermal Energy Storage

Paraffin, the most common phase change material, has been widely utilized as the core component in thermal energy storage in the form of microcapsules. In this study, semi-crystalline paraffin is capsulated into a poly(urea-formaldehyde) (PUF) shell by a two-step polymerization process. To obtain th...
