Article Citation - WoS: 53Citation - Scopus: 60Properties of N-Eicosane Silk Fibroin-Chitosan Microcapsules(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2011) Başal, Güldemet; Şirin Deveci, Senem; Yalçın, Dilek; Bayraktar, OğuzPCM microcapsules containing n-eicosane were prepared by complex coacervation of silk fibroin (SF) and chitosan (CHI). Chemical characterization of microcapsules was carried out using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Thermal properties and thermal stability of microencapsulated n-eicosane were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). FTIR spectra confirmed the encapsulation of n-eicosane within the microcapsules. Results from thermal analyses showed that microcapsules consisted of an average of 45.7 wt % n-eicosane, and had a thermal energy storage and release capacity of about 93.04 J/g and 89.68 J/g, respectively.
