Synthesise and Performance Evaluation of Adaptable Phase ChangeMaterials Based on Paraffin Wax/Silicone Rubber

A adapable Phase change material (PCM) system, based on paraffin wax (PW) microcapsuls,incorporated in the high temperature-vulcanized (HTV) silicon rubber, was successfully synthesized.The interfacial polymerization was implemented to synthesize the microcapsules of paraffin wax witha spherical morphology and an an average diameter of approximately ۲±۰.۲۸ μm. The obtainedmicrocapsules can store ۴۰±۵% Jg-۱ of external heat flux due to the latent heat of fussion of the PWcomponent. Morover, the encapsulation of PW improves its thermal stability for efficient use in theadaptable/flexible system without any melt leakage.
