We change material (PCM) nanocapsules (Mag-PCM) based on a paraffin core and polyurea shell (paraffin@polyurea). The Mag-PCM nanocapsules were synthesized via interfacial polycondensation between tolylene diisocyanate (TDI) and ethylene diamine (EDA) with various concentrations (0, 2.2, 3.7, and 4.6 wt%) of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. FTIR and TGA analyses confirmed the successful preparation of MagPCM nanocapsules. TEM and SEM images revealed that most of the Fe3O4 NPs were localized in the polyurea shell layer due to the Pickering effect. Laser flash (LFA) and DSC analyses demonstrated that the embedment of Fe3O4 NPs could increase the thermal conductivity of PCM nanocapsules and reduce the supercooling of the paraffin between bulk and nano-size confinement conditions.
