The phase change material (PCM) micro-capsules with polysulfone shell and n-hexadecane core were prepared in this work.In order to control the properties of PCM micro-capsules
such as the size and size distribution
the preparation process was decoupled into two separate stages: firstly
the monodispersed O/W droplets were generated by a micro-reactor; secondly
the droplets were solidified in a bath by solvent evaporation approach.The effects of continuous phase flow rate
disperse phase flow rate
and the micro-channel size on the droplet formation process in the micro-reactor were studied comprehensively.The PCM micro-capsules were characterized by SEM and DSC.The results showed that the size of micro-capsules was uniform
