Abstract: Nano-encapsulated n-octadecane (NanoPCMs) was synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization using styrene-divinybenzene co-polymer as shell and n-octadecane as core. The experimental results show that, the stirring rate of 6000 rpm is suitable for the nano-encapsulation. Dodecyl mercaptan (DDM) has great influence on the morphology of NanoPCMs. When DDM was employed in miniemulsion polymerization, the fabricated nanocapsules are almost spherical and their surfaces are smooth. The enthalpy of the nanocapsules is 84 J.g-1, which corresponds to 37 wt% n-octadecane. The super-cooling was not observed in the DSC cooling curve.
