Magnetic microencapsulated phase change materials (magnetic MicroPCMs) are hotly researched for their dual-functions with phase change and magnetic properties, which provided the new applications in fields of maneuverable phase change materials and infrared electromagnetic dual shield. A series of magnetic MicroPCMs samples are synthesized by polymerization and coprecipitation method and the chemical composition contained poly(MMA-MAA) @ n-octadecane modified by Fe3O4. In addition, the characterizations exhibit the excellent magnetic and phase change properties. The magnetic MicroPCMs samples present 20 emu·g−1 saturation magnetization with still high enthalpy of 132 J·g−1, which fully illustrates that the magnetic MicroPCMs fulfill both application on thermal energy storage and magnetic control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
