Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The thermal analysis of the starch was carried out using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC 823e, Mettler Toledo, Greifensee, Switzerland); thermograms were evaluated by STARe software (V 9.00, Mettler Toledo, Greifensee, Switzerland). Starch samples (15 mg) were weighed and placed into 100 mL aluminum pans with 30 µL of deionized water. These pans were then hermetically sealed and allowed to stand for 24 h at room temperature before DSC analysis. Pans were subjected to the following DSC conditions: 5 min at 25 °C and heating until 120 °C at 10 °C/min. An empty and sealed pan was used as a reference for all measurements. Thermal behaviors were characterized through onset temperature (To), conclusion temperature (Tc) and gelatinization enthalpy (ΔH). Analyses were performed in triplicate.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The surface and
cross-section morphology of the Ga microcapsules at each stage were
observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM; JEOL, JSM-7001FA),
and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis was performed
to investigate the elemental distribution of the cross-section. The
cross-section of the microcapsule was prepared using a cross-section
polisher (CP, JEOL cross-section polisher). The chemical and phase
compositions of the MEPCM were determined via X-ray diffraction (XRD,
Rigaku Miniflex600, D/teX Ultra2, Cu Kα). The weight change
and temperature response during calcination were characterized using
a Mettler Toledo TG/DSC 3+ thermogravimetry (TG) device. The heat
storage capacity and phase change characteristics of the MEPCM were
measured using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyzer
(DSC-823e, Mettler Toledo) under an Ar atmosphere at a heating and
cooling rate of 1 K·min–1. The durability testing
of the MEPCM was also performed via DSC, wherein Ga-MEPCM samples
were cyclically heated and cooled from 50 to −50 °C to
simulate practical melting–solidification thermal cycles. After
durability testing, the sample was also measured via DSC and SEM/EDS
to investigate its performance.

DSC experiments
were performed using a DSC823e (Mettler-Toledo, Greifensee, Switzerland)
equipped with a refrigerated cooling system (Julabo FT 900, Seelbach,
Germany). Nitrogen was used as a purge gas (50 mL/min).

25 °C for 3 min and then linearly heated with a heating rate
of 10 °C/min to 20 °C above their respective melting points.
Measurements of both amorphous and crystalline samples were recorded
in triplicate, and thermal events were analyzed using the STARe software
(Mettler-Toledo, Greifensee, Switzerland). Temperatures and melting
enthalpies were used to estimate the free energy difference between
the amorphous and crystalline forms.

Thermal Analysis of Polymer Composites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mettler Toledo DSC823e was utilized to assess the melting temperature, the heat of fusion, and the crystallization temperature. Samples of 5–10 mg were used for these tests. Two heating and cooling cycles from 50 to 190 °C at 10 °C/min were used to remove the thermal history and collect data similar to the RM processing cycle.
Crystallinity was calculated based on the following equation [25 (link)]: Percentage Crystallinity (Xc)=ΔhΔhfusion·wmLDPE×100
Weight Fraction of mLDPE (wmLDPE)=mmLDPEmBFC=0.8 where Δh is the enthalpy of fusion of the polymer and respective composite and Δhfusion is the specific enthalpy of fusion for PE, evaluated as 293 J/g (theoretical enthalpy of 100% crystallinity PE [26 ]).

DSC experiments
were performed using a DSC823e (Mettler-Toledo, Greifensee, Switzerland)
equipped with a refrigerated cooling system (Julabo FT 900, Seelbach,
Germany). Nitrogen was used as a purge gas (50 mL/min).
Samples
(2–5 mg) were tightly packed into standard aluminum crucibles
(40 μL) with pierced lids. Two different procedures were used
in these measurements. For determination of melting temperature and
enthalpy, the samples were equilibrated at 25 °C for 3 min and
then linearly heated with a heating rate of 10 °C/min to 180
°C. For determination of heat capacities, the samples were equilibrated
at 140 °C and then heated up to 180 °C using a TOPEM-modulated
heating program with a heating rate of 1 °C/min and a pulse height
of 1 °C. Samples were measured in triplicate, and thermal events
were analyzed using STARe software (Mettler-Toledo, Greifensee, Switzerland).
Temperatures of melting, enthalpies of melting, and heat capacities
were used to estimate the free-energy difference between the α
and γ polymorphs.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM, ZEISS EVO-MA10, Germany) was utilized to examine the internal microstructure and surface morphology of the composites. A coating of fine particles of gold was applied to all the samples before scanning. Thermal conductivity of samples was measured using the thermal conductivity analyzer (C-THERM, TCi, Canada). The test specimen for thermal conductivity testing should be thicker than 5 mm. C-THERM TCi uses the source of the altered transient plane approach.
