Microtubule encapsulated microcapsules of a phase-change material and preparation thereof are provided. The microcapsules of a phase-change material consist of a phase-change material, truncated microtubules, and a polymer. The truncated microtubules are formed by truncating hollow tubular natural fibers into fiber segments with a length of 0.1 mm-5 cm. The diameter of the hollow tubular natural fiber is 0.1-1000 μm. The phase-change material is encapsulated in the truncated microtubules and the truncated microtubules are covered with the polymer.

Description
- The present invention relates to natural microtubule encapsulated microcapsules of a phase-change material and the preparation thereof.
- Generally, phase-change materials (PCM), also called as latent thermal energy storage (LTES) materials, refer to materials that are capable of absorb or release energy upon phase change while the temperature of the material does not change or change a little. When serving as an energy storage carrier, the phase-change materials have the advantages of high thermal storage density, small equipment volume, and high thermal efficiency, and heat absorption or release is a constant temperature process, thus the energy utilization can be improved, and the problem of energy crisis can be solved to some extent. Presently, phase-change materials have been widely used in refrigeration and cool storage of refrigerators and air-conditioners, automatic thermostatic control of smart buildings, energy storage and exchange technology in solar energy application, peak load shifting in power supply, recovery and reuse of waste heat and residual heat, and commodities. Due to simple and convenient use without energy consumption, the phase-change materials have wide application prospect and broad market.
- In view of the phase change process of the material, the phase-change materials are mainly divided into solid-liquid phase-change material, solid-solid phase-change material, solid-gas phase-change material, and liquid-gas phase-change material. A large amount of gas exists during the phase change process of the later two materials, so that the volume change of the material is great, thus the two materials are rarely used in practical application. Due to small volume change, high latent heat, good energy storage, and wide phase-change temperature range, the solid-liquid phase-change material has been widely used in practice. However, as liquid phase is generated during the phase-change process, the material must be packed in a sealed container, so as to prevent leakage and environment pollution, and the container must be inert to the phase-change material. This disadvantage greatly limits the application of the solid-liquid phase-change energy storage materials in practice. Recently, with the development of technology and the requirement of application, people try to perform shape stabilization to convert the solid-liquid phase-change energy storage materials into solid-solid phase-change materials in form. However, solid-liquid phase change still occurs in practice, which solves the melting problem of the phase-change materials, and greatly facilitates the practical application. Presently, the method for performing shape stabilization process on the phase-change materials mainly includes shaped and microcapsulation.
- The shaped phase-change materials are substantially composite phase-change energy storage materials, and refer to phase-change material having non-fluidity and capable of maintaining solid form formed by combining the phase-change material and the carrier material, which can substitute solid-solid phase-change materials. The phase-change materials contains two main components: one is working material component, that is, phase-change material, for storing and releasing energy through phase change, including various phase-change materials, with solid-liquid phase-change materials being mostly used; and the other is carrier material component, for maintaining the non-fluidity and processability of the phase-change material. Therefore, the melting temperature of the carrier material is required to be higher than the phase-change temperature of the phase-change material, such that the working material can maintain the solid shape and material performance in the phase change range. From the development of the compounding of the shaped composite phase-change materials in recent years, the main preparation method substantially includes: co-blending, grafting, sintering, in-situ intercalation, and sol-gel method. As the physical effect of the shaped phase-change material is relatively small, after being used repeatedly, the solid-liquid phase-change material may be easily desorbed from the carrier, and leakage and exudation, and two-phase separation may occur.
- The microcapsulated phase-change materials are composite phase-change materials having a core-shell structure formed by covering the surface of the solid-liquid phase-change material particles with a layer of polymer membrane or inorganic material with stable performance by using microcapsule technology. During the phase change process, solid-liquid phase change occurs in the core of the microcapsulated phase-change material, while the outer layer polymer membrane maintains solid form, so the phase-change materials present as solid particles at macroscopic. The chemical preparation method of the microcapsules of a phase-change material mainly includes: in-situ polymerization, interfacial polymerization, reaction phase separation, and complex coacervation, and the shell performance obtained by different preparation methods is different. With the development of the polymer science, microcapsulation technology gets mature gradually, thus the phase-change energy storage microcapsule materials are widely concerned and researched due to the special performance and usage. The energy storage principle of heat absorption and release of the phase-change microcapsule is equivalent to that of a thermal battery. The encapsulation by the micro container makes the phase-change material converted into numerous small working units, thus significantly expanding the application field and situation of the phase-change material. The product with phase-change microcapsule blended therein will establish a microclimate environment in the melting point range of the phase-change material used, so as to meet the requirement for comfort on temperature. The microcapsulated phase-change materials can well solve the serious problems of easily melting and flowing, penetration and migration, phase separation, and corrosion during the solid-liquid phase change process, and after being encapsulated and protected with the shell material, the phase-change material is separated from the external environment to be stabilized. Also, the polymer shell material or the modified shell material significantly increases the compatibility of the phase-change material and the matrix material, thus significantly improving the practicality of the phase-change material. However, the strength of the microcapsule wall is insufficient, the leakage and heat resistance of the phase-change material still need to be improved, and particularly, the cost is high, which are the problems in urgent need to be solved in the industry presently.
- Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a phase-change microcapsule of a truncated natural microtubule encapsulated phase-change material and the preparation thereof.
- The microcapsules of a phase-change material of the present invention comprise a phase-change material, truncated microtubules, and a polymer. The truncated microtubules are formed by truncating hollow tubular natural fibers into fiber segments with a length of 0.1 mm to 5 cm. The hollow tubular natural fibers have a diameter in the range from 0.1 μm to 1000 μm.

- Compared with the existing microcapsulated phase-change material encapsulation technology, the present invention has the following advantageous effects:
- 1. The encapsulation tubules used in the present invention are cheap and easily available natural microfibers. For example, kapok fiber is a natural fiber having a large specific surface area and a high hollowness up to 80-90%, which is difficult to be realized by current artificial preparation methods, thus being more suitable for manufacturing phase-change energy material than man-made fibers. Further, kapok fiber has a high thermostability and substantially will not be thermally degraded at 250° C. Also, kapok fiber has a high chemical stability, and will only be dissolved in high-concentration strong acids.
- 2. The truncated natural microfibers having micropore structure with large specific surface area are used as supporting materials, and through the capillary force of the micropores, the liquid organic phase-change energy storage material or the inorganic phase-change energy storage material (at a temperature higher than the phase change temperature) is absorbed into the micropores, so as to form an organic phase-change energy storage material, inorganic phase-change energy storage material, or a composite of an organic and inorganic phase-change energy storage materials. When a solid-liquid phase change of the phase-change energy storage material occurs in the micropores, due to the capillary force, the liquid phase-change energy storage material will not easily overflow from the micropores.
- 3. Although the capillary force solves the fluidity problem of the solid-liquid phase-change material to some extent, it is still an “open” package system. Thus the microcapsulated microtubules with the phase-change material adsorbed therein can be further closed and terminated with a polymer.
- 4. The microfibers have a high hollowness and therefore a high energy storage density, and can transfer energy stably due to the closed structure, and transfer heat rapidly due to the very fine micro-tubular structures, and may be used for a long term in view of the heat and chemical stability. Further, the special lipophilic and hydrophobic wetting performance can be utilized during the processing.
- 5. The microcapsulated form of the phase-change material can be better dispersed in a matrix material during practical technical process. After being mixed with the matrix material, the micron-level size of the encapsulated phase-change material can make the appearance of the product be maintained and not be affected.
