Preparation and characterization of 100% bio-based polylactic acid/palmitic acid microcapsules for thermal energy storage

Abstract Phase change materials (PCM) have gained extensive attention in thermal energy storage applications. In this work, microencapsulation of vegetable-derived palmitic acid (PA) in bio-based polylactic acid (PLA) shell by solvent evaporation and oil-in-water emulsification was investigated. Fou...
