“…The suspension of formed capsules is cooled down, washed repeatedly, and eventually dried under controlled conditions. This method enables one to adjust the size of capsules, the size distribution and encapsulation ratio [154,155]. Paraffin wax, as a core material with urea formaldehyde as the shell material [59]; palmitic acid, as a core with aluminium oxyhydroxide (AlOOH) as the shell material [34]; hexadecane or octadecane, as a core with melamine-resin as the shell material [156]; higher hydrocarbons, as a core with amino-aldehyde resins as the shell material [157]; and N-hexadecane as a core with melamine-formaldehyde as the shell material, were encapsulated using this methodology.…”

Phase change materials (PCMs) have been identified as potential candidates for building energy optimization by increasing the thermal mass of buildings. The increased thermal mass results in a drop in the cooling/heating loads, thus decreasing the energy demand in buildings. However, direct incorporation of PCMs into building elements undermines their structural performance, thereby posing a challenge for building integrity. In order to retain/improve building structural performance, as well as improving energy performance, micro-encapsulated PCMs are integrated into building materials. The integration of microencapsulation PCMs into building materials solves the PCM leakage problem and assures a good bond with building materials to achieve better structural performance. The aim of this article is to identify the optimum micro-encapsulation methods and materials for improving the energy, structural and safety performance of buildings. The article reviews the characteristics of micro-encapsulated PCMs relevant to building integration, focusing on safety rating, structural implications, and energy performance. The article uncovers the optimum combinations of the shell (encapsulant) and core (PCM) materials along with encapsulation methods by evaluating their merits and demerits.

The use of latent heat storage, microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs), is one of the most efficient ways of storing thermal energy and it has received a growing attention in the past decade. However, there is no complete overview of its utilisation in thermal energy storage systems, and the information is widely spread in the literature. In this paper, a comprehensive review has been carried out for MEPCMs. Four aspects have been the focus of this review: fabrication and characterization of MEPCMs, applications of MEPCMs to the textile and building, fundamental properties of microencapsulated phase change material slurry (MPCS) and application of MPCS to the thermal energy storage system. Over 140 recent publications are referenced in this paper.

“…Furthermore, the passive insulation should be increased with the formation of honeycomb structure which can entrap considerable amount of air (Sarier & Onder, 2007b). Nevertheless, the interactions between the chemical structure of the microcapsules and the polymeric material used to form the foam may lead to a defoaming process at high loading content as observed by You et al, (2008). Thus, to increase the loading content (up to 25.2 wt.%) and therefore the enthalpy heat (28 J.g -1 ), they proposed to synthetize styrene-divinylbenzene (DVB) co-polymer as shell material rather than melamineformaldehyde (You et al, 2010).…”
