The invention discloses a
supercooling phase change-inhibiting
alkane microcapsule and preparation and application thereof. The size of the
alkane microcapsule is within a range from 0.1Mu m to 100Mu m, the
alkane microcapsule consists of shell materials and core materials, the shell materials are
melamine resin, the core materials are n-alkane
phase change agent and n-alkane nucleating agent, the
carbon atom number of the n-alkane
phase change agent is twelve to twenty eight, and the
carbon atom number of the n-alkane nucleating agent is twenty two to forty. The preparation method for the alkane microcapsule, which is disclosed by the invention, is an in-situ
polymerization method, and the preparation process includes core material
emulsion preparation, shell material
prepolymer preparation and alkane microcapsule preparation. For the same type of alkane microcapsule, the
carbon atom number of the nucleating agent is greater than the carbon atom number of the phase
change agent, and the nucleating agent and the phase
change agent can be formed into gel. The invention has the advantages that: the alkane microcapsule has the characteristics of
supercooling phase change inhibition,
smooth surface and aggregation resistance, the preparation process for the alkane microcapsule is simple, and the application range is wide.
