The invention relates to a phase-change material microcapsule and a preparation method thereof. The microcapsule is prepared by a mixed liquor of an oil-phase component and an aqueous phase component; the oil-phase component accounts for 9-30% of the mixed liquor according to the
mass percentage (the same below); the oil-phase component comprises 28-49% of free
radical polymerization monomer, 1-9% of crosslinker, 44-70% of organic phase-change material and 1-2% of initiating agent; the aqueous phase component comprises 80-90% of deionized water and 1-20% of emulsifier; the surface of the microcapsule has one or more than hollows, the average grain diameters of which are less than or equal to 90mum and the total volume of which accounts for 20-40% of the microcapsule according to the
volume percent; the
thermal decomposition temperature of the microcapsule is larger than or equal to 230 DEG C. The preparation method adopts the
mass percent composition of the microcapsule and the following technique: firstly, the well-mixed
oil phase component is added into the well-mixed aqueous phase solution in the temperature I and the stirring speed I, and stirred into a mixed
emulsion in the stirring speed II; and then the temperature of the mixed
emulsion is raised to II; and finally the mixed
emulsion is filtered, separated, mixed, washed with deionized water for 2 to 5 times after being fully stirred, thus obtaining the microcapsule wet cake; or the microcapsule wet cake is dried till reaching constant weight, thus obtaining the microcapsule
dry powder.
