Microencapsulation of hexadecane core, an organic phase change material using inorganic calcium carbonate shell was carried out through self-assembly technique. The microcapsules prepared with mixed surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate/non-polar polyvinylpyrrolidone (1:1 mass ratio) and core/shell of...
