Abstract
In this paper, chitosan-based polyurethane (c-PU) microencapsulated phase change materials (MicroPCMs) were prepared via the interfacial polymerization reaction of hexamethylene diisocyanate and chitosan accompanied by the charge attraction-assisted. The utilization of natural non-toxic chitosan in MicroPCMs expanded the application of chitosan and guided a new approach to preparing green shell. And the morphology of MicroPCMs with different reaction ration, surfactant and the pH value of reaction system were systematically investigated. The MicroPCMs with c-PU shell exhibited outstanding latent thermal performance (ΔHm = 106.3 J/g, ΔHc = -105.1 J/g), high energy storage efficiency (E = 71.4%), excellent thermal stability and cyclic durability. The c-PU MicroPCMs with reversible photochromic show promising application in the fields of anti-counterfeiting technology and flexible wearable UV protective clothing.
