The thermal behavior and flame retardant performance of phase change material microcapsules with modified carbon nanotubes

Encapsulation methods for phase change materials – A critical review

“…The drawbacks of low thermal conductivity, undesirable thermal stability and flammability for organic shells and PCMs are well-received, and have been discussed before. Recently, Cheng et al [141] utilized the integration of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Fe 3 O 4 particles to produce encapsulated PCMs with good thermal behaviour and flame retardance using in-situ polymerization, and the process of synthesis is shown in Fig. 47 .…”

Using phenylphosphinic acid/zinc hydroxystannate nanoparticle-decorated graphene to enhance the flame retardancy and smoke suppressive performance of epoxy resin

“…Based on previous reports, nanocomposite technology has been reported as a promising strategy to improve the fire safety of polymeric materials. Various nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes, 8–10 layered double hydroxides (LDHs), 11,12 boron nitride (BN), 13,14 and black phosphorus (BP), 15,16 have been explored as highly-effective nanofillers for flame retardants and have reinforced the mechanical properties of polymeric materials. Compared with these nanomaterials, graphene has gained more attention because of its layered characteristic.…”

Microencapsulation of Phase Change Materials with a Soy Oil-Based Polyurethane Shell via Pickering Emulsion Polymerization

“…10 Cheng et al synthesized microcapsules with Fe 3 O 4 /carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as fillers and PMMA as shells by in situ polymerization. 11 According to the test, the addition of Fe 3 O 4 /CNTs is helpful for improving the microcapsule's thermal transmission and stability. The sol−gel technique is widely utilized for the production of microcapsules with inorganic shells, like silica shells.…”
