New approach for the optimization of polymerization time in preparation of microcapsules containing HD by using thermal properties

Nowadays microcapsules are applied in versatile fields such as adhesives, drugs, catalysts and phase change material (PCM). In industrial applications, microcapsule production time during thepolymerization process is a key factor to minimize the energy consumption and increase the productivity.In this work, with a new approach, we investigated shell formation of melamine-formaldehyde (MF) microcapsules through interfacial polymerization containing n-hexadecane (HD)by sampling and analyzing to obtain a minimum batch time and reaching appropriate thermal properties
