Table 4. Main Results of the TGA Tests on the Neat and PDA-Coated Microcapsulesa.
sample | T1% (°C) | T3% (°C) | T5% (°C) | Td (°C) | mr (%) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
MC | 118.4 | 164.1 | 241.2 | 421.2 | 0.34 |
MC-PDA | 112.5 | 158.2 | 172.5 | 443.2 | 9.24 |
T1%, T3%, T5% = temperature corresponding to a mass loss of 1, 3, or 5 wt %, Td = temperature at the maximum of the mass loss derivative, and mr = residual mass.
