Preparation of Poly(methylmethacrylate) Microcapsules with Liquid Cores
Andrew Loxley,Brian Vincent +1 more
TLDR
Particles with liquid cores and solid shells have been prepared by the controlled phase separation of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) within the droplets of an oil-in-water emulsion, finding that core/shell microcapsules were formed when hexadecane or decane was used as non-solvent and only when polymeric emulsifiers were employed.About:

Synthesis of tin-encapsulated spherical hollow carbon for anode material in lithium secondary batteries
TL;DR: It is likely that, when tested as the anode in Li secondary batteries, the spherical hollow carbon acts as a barrier to prevent the aggregation of nanosized Sn particles and provides a void space for Sn metal particles to experience a volume change without a collapse of carbon shell, giving rise to a better cycle performance than that of pure Sn metal.

Review of solid–liquid phase change materials and their encapsulation technologies
TL;DR: In this article, a review of solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage applications is presented, where the morphology of particles is identified as a key influencing factor on the thermal and chemical stability and the mechanical strength of encapsulated PCMs.

Three-phase interactions in shear and electrical fields
S Torza,S. G. Mason +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that when two immiscible liquid drops, designated as phase-1 and -3, suspended in a third immiscibility liquid, phase-2, are brought into contact, the resulting equilibrium configuration is readily predicted from the interfacial tensions σij and spreading coefficients Si = σjk − (σij + σik).
