Crystallization and phase transition behaviors of n-nonadecane in microcapsules with a diameter of about 5 mum were studied with the combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (XRD). As evident from the DSC measurement, a surface freezing monolayer, which is formed in the microcapsules before the bulk crystallization, induces a novel metastable rotator phase (R(II)), which has not been reported anywhere else. We argue that the existence of the surface freezing monolayer decreases the nucleating potential barrier of the R(II) phase and induces its appearance, while the lower free energy in the confined geometry turns the transient R(II) phase to a "long-lived" metastable phase.
