Impact of microcapsules wettability on thermal conductivity of microencapsulated phase change material(MPCM) suspensions

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of the wettability on MPCM suspensions thermal conductivity. The wettability of the capsules, characterized by contact angle between solid capsules and carrying fluid, was modified by mixing two selected surfactants into the suspensions, i.e.,ce...
