AB - Supercooling effects of novel Phase Change Materials microcapsules incorporated with silver
nano particles (NC-MicroPCMs) and conventional PCM microcapsules (MicroPCMs) are compared and
evaluated systematically. Melting and crystallization behaviors of microcapsules with different processing
parameters are investigated mainly by DSC measurements. Combinations of processing parameters are
determined by a full factorial experimental design. The influences of processing parameters are discussed
and analyzed by statistical softwares of SPSS and Minitab. The results have shown that the formation of
nano composite structure can reduce the effect of supercooling. The possible mechanisms have also been
explored.
