POLY (METHYL METHACRYLATE-CO-METHACRYLIC ACID)/NHexadecane MICROCAPSULES TO IMPART THERMAL COMFORT IN TEXTILES

摘要: Thermal comfort using microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) in innovative textile products and are widely investigated for their highly added value and processes related to microcapsule application to textiles are rapidly increasing to get the optimum performance. This study is focused on the preparation, characterization, and determination of thermal properties of microencapsulated n-hexadecane with poly (methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid)(PMMA-co-MA) to be used in textiles with heat storage property.
