This paper presents a novel approach to synthesize microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs) with composite titania-polyurea (TiO2-PUA) shell at low temperature. MEPCM pre-microcapsules with PUA shell were first synthesized through interfacial polymerization in oil-in-water emulsion, followe...
