This study focuses on preparing PCM (phase change material) nanocapsules which contain PA (palmitic acid) as core and SiO2 as shell materials. For the first time encapsulation of phase change materials is synthesized in nano scale via the sol-gel method by changing the value of pH in the range of 11...
