MICROENCAPSULATION OF A PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL WITH ENHANCED FLAME RESISTANCE

A flame-resistant microcapsule that comprises a core comprising a phase change material and a wall material encapsulating the core. The microcapsules includes at least one of: a flame retardant applied to the wall material and a phase change material having a boiling point of about 230° C. to about 420° C. to provided enhanced flame resistance. The phase change material may have a boiling point of about 280° C. to about 400° C. or about 300° C. to about 390° C.
