Abstract
Thermal regulating fiber has been a research hotspot worldwide recently. In this paper, the energy storage microcapsules composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2) as shell and paraffin as core were synthesized in the spinning solution of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). This solution was used to prepare thermal regulating PVA fibers by wet spinning directly. Orthogonal experiment was conducted to optimize the synthetic conditions of the microcapsules. Chemical structure and morphology of the fibers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) respectively. The thermal properties of the fibers were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Results present that energy storage microcapsules are successfully synthesized in PVA spinning solution with a mean particle size of 1.39 µm. The fibers containing such microcapsules show a high latent heat storage density of 45.39 J g−1, which also achieve a relatively better thermal stability.
