Abstract: Microtubule encapsulated microcapsules of a phase-change material and preparation thereof are provided. The microcapsules of a phase-change material consist of a phase-change material, truncated microtubules, and a polymer. The truncated microtubules are formed by truncating hollow tubular natural fibers into fiber segments with a length of 0.1 mm-5 cm. The diameter of the hollow tubular natural fiber is 0.1-1000 ?m. The phase-change material is encapsulated in the truncated microtubules and the truncated microtubules are covered with the polymer. The microtubules have high energy storage density due to high hollowness, and can transfer energy stably due to the closed structure, transfer heat rapidly due to the very fine micro-tubular structures, and may be used for a long term in view of the heat and chemical stability.
