Macroporous sorbents differing in size were prepared by the 2,2´-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN)-initiated suspension radical polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate and ethylene dimethacrylate in the presence of an inert porogen. The microspheres were loaded with paraffin and cetyl alcohol phase change materials (PCMs) and coated with silica by sol-gel method using trimethoxy(methyl)silane hydrolysate. The energy storing capacity of the PCM-containing composite particles was monitored by differential scanning calorimetry. Accelerated thermal cycling tests were carried out to determine the thermal reliability of the microencapsulated PCMs. Paraffin and cetyl alcohol content in the microcapsules was 42.9 wt.% and 48.9 wt.%, respectively. The microcomposites with higher PCM content showed correspondingly higher latent heat storage capacity (melting and solidification enthalpies were 96.1 J/g and 94.5 J/g, respectively). However, there was low enthalpy change observed after 1000 thermal cycles of cetyl alcohol-containing capsules, which indicated that PCM leakage from the microspheres was minimal.
