Description

Phase change microcapsule based on polymer shell and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a phase change microcapsule based on a polymer shell and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a high enthalpy phase change microcapsule with controllable phase change temperature, high heat storage density and high enthalpy retention rate and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
Increasing energy consumption requires that people be able to produce, store and utilize energy more efficiently. Waste of heat energy, which is one of the earliest energy sources used by human beings, is a considerable phenomenon, and it is an unbearable technical challenge to save heat energy and improve the use efficiency of heat energy. The storage (cold accumulation and heat accumulation) of energy by utilizing the phase change latent heat of the phase change material is a novel environment-friendly energy-saving technology, has the advantages of small temperature change and high heat accumulation density, and has wide application prospects in the fields of solar energy utilization, recovery of industrial waste heat and waste heat, energy conservation of air conditioners, building heating and the like. Since the phase change material manages thermal energy by utilizing the heat absorption and release phenomenon during the solid-liquid transition, leakage in a liquid state, deformation during the solid-liquid transition, and the like are important defects in the actual use of the phase change material.
Microencapsulation of phase change materials is an important technical solution to address the above-mentioned leakage and deformation. The technology generally firstly utilizes an emulsification technology to obtain uniformly dispersed phase-change material droplets (particles); then coating a shell layer with stable performance on the surface of the phase-change material particles by a chemical or physical means; when the phase change microcapsule is finally obtained in the phase change process, the phase change core is subjected to solid-liquid conversion, and the shell layer is kept in a solid state, so that the leakage and deformation of the phase change material are solved. Therefore, the key point of the microcapsule technology lies in the emulsification of the phase-change material and the preparation of a stable shell layer.
The emulsification process of the phase-change microcapsule can be selected from conventional emulsifiers, such as sodium salt hydrolysate of ethylene methyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymer, sodium salt hydrolysate of isobutylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, sodium salt hydrolysate of styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, sodium salt hydrolysate of ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymer, copolymer obtained by copolymerizing acrylic acid or methacrylic acid with styrene, ethylene, vinyl alcohol, vinyl acetate, methacrylamide, isobutylene, acrylate, methacrylate or acrylonitrile, polyvinylbenzene sulfonic acid, sodium polyvinylbenzene sulfonate, emulsifier OP-5, emulsifier OP-10, Tween20 (Tween20), Tween60 (Tween60), Tween80 (Tween80), polyethylene glycol octylphenyl ether X-100(TritonX-100), sodium dodecyl sulfate, and the like, Sodium dodecyl sulfonate, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, etc. In recent years, Pickering emulsions have also been widely used for the preparation of phase change microcapsules, and various nanoparticles can be used as stabilizers for Pickering emulsions, such as titanium dioxide, aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, iron oxide, silicon dioxide, graphene oxide, kaolinite minerals, attapulgite, multiwall carbon nanotubes, and the like.
According to different preparation methods, phase change microcapsules with different shell materials (wall materials) can be obtained, and currently, most shell materials are single organic matters or inorganic matters. Examples of the organic wall material include: a polyurethane wall material mentioned in patent document 1, a polyurea wall material mentioned in patent document 2, a melamine-modified urea resin-based wall material mentioned in patent document 3, and the like. Examples of the inorganic wall material include: a silica-based wall material mentioned in patent document 4, a phase change microcapsule obtained by condensing graphene oxide on the surface of a phase change material mentioned in patent document 5, and the like.
However, the phase-change microcapsules disclosed at present still have certain defects, and the inventors of the present invention have found through extensive research that the main problems are derived from the intrinsic disadvantages and shortcomings of different phase-change microcapsule preparation technologies.
Although the emulsification process of the phase-change microcapsules is flexible and controllable, the defects of different emulsification means cannot be ignored. For example, conventional low molecular weight emulsifiers can only form stable emulsions at large use levels, and the use of large amounts of emulsifiers increases costs and environmental stress; the macromolecular emulsifier has higher cost and poorer stability; the nanoparticles used in the Pickering emulsion need to be surface modified, so that the process is increased, and the stability of the product is difficult to ensure.
On the other hand, a single organic wall material or inorganic wall material is another non-negligible defect of the phase change microcapsules at present. Although organic wall materials such as polyurethane, melamine-modified urea-formaldehyde resin, melamine-formaldehyde resin, etc. have a good encapsulation effect, the thermal conductivity is low, and a large amount of volatile organic compounds (e.g., formaldehyde) remain in the coated phase change material, which greatly limits the application of the phase change material. Furthermore, most organic wall materials are combustible, and have a plurality of potential safety hazards. In addition, most inorganic wall materials have the advantages of certain flame retardance, relatively constant phase transition temperature, relatively high energy storage density and the like, but have poor packaging effect and relatively brittle wall materials, so that the application of the inorganic wall materials is limited.

Heat can be stored or removed from the phase change material, and the phase change material typically can be effectively replenished by a source that emits or absorbs heat. For some embodiments, the phase change material may be a mixture of two or more materials.
