In this study, a methyl palmitate-polyurea phase change microcapsule (MPCM) was successfully synthesized by interfacial polymerization with methyl palmitate with high latent heat as the core material and tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) and diethylene triamine (DETA) as the shell monomers. The effects of emulsifier type and content, cosolvent, reaction rate and core-shell mass ratio on the phase change properties of microcapsules were systematically discussed, and the optimum process was determined. A series of characterization techniques were u...
