Table 3. Main Results of the DSC Tests on the Neat and PDA-Coated Microcapsules^a.

sample	Tm (°C)	ΔHm (J/g)	Tc (°C)	ΔHc (J/g)	MC (wt %)	PDA (wt %)	Tm,2 (°C)	ΔHm,2 (J/g)
MC	44.7	227.2	29.0	224.1	100	0	44.4	224.0
MC-PDA	44.3	189.2	29.7	192.1	85.7	14.3	43.8	190.9

^aT_m, ΔH_m = melting temperature and enthalpy (first heating scan); MC (wt %), PDA (wt %) = weight fractions of MC and PDA, calculated from the measured melting enthalpy; T_c, ΔH_c = crystallization temperature and enthalpy (cooling scan); and T_m,2, ΔH_m,2 = melting temperature and enthalpy (second heating scan).
