The molar ratio of urea and formaldehyde, the mass ratio of core material to wall material, the concentration of emulsifier, and rotating speed were selected to make a four-level and three-factor L9(34) orthogonal test. It was found that the molar ratio of urea and formaldehyde had the greatest influence on the coating rate of microcapsules. The effects of molar ratio of urea and formaldehyde on the discoloration temperature and coating rate of microcapsules were studied. When the molar ratio of urea to formaldehyde was 1:1.6, the core material: wall material ratio was 4:7, the concentration of emulsifier was 5.0%, and the rotating speed was 1600 rpm, the performance of the microcapsules was the best. When the microcapsule content was 20.0%, the color difference of the paint film was the largest, the gloss and hardness of the paint film decreased with increasing microcapsule content, and the impact resistance of the paint film first increased and then decreased with increasing microcapsule content. The adhesion of the paint film remained unchanged, and was grade 1. When the microcapsule content was 20.0%, the performance of the paint film was at its best. This provides a basis for the application of thermochromic coatings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym14071393","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,29]],"date-time":"2022-03-29T21:45:51Z","timestamp":1648590351000},"page":"1393","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Preparation of Thermochromic Microcapsules of Bisphenol A and Crystal Violet Lactone and Their Effect on Coating Properties"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Wenting","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Co-Innovation Center of Efficient Processing and Utilization of Forest Resources, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"},{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoxing","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Co-Innovation Center of Efficient Processing and Utilization of Forest Resources, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"},{"name":"College of Furnishings and Industrial Design, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"499","DOI":"10.1007\/s00107-016-1108-0","article-title":"Wood colour of central European wood species: CIELAB characterisation and colour intensification","volume":"75","author":"Meints","year":"2017","journal-title":"Eur.
