Microencapsulated phase change n-Octadecane with high heat storage for application in building energy conservation
Abstract: A novel type of microencapsulated phase change materials (microPCMs) with n-Octadecane core shelled by styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer were synthesized by the suspension polymerization....
Light transmitting glass fiber reinforced cementitious composite containing microencapsulated phase change material for thermal energy saving
Abstract: The energy utilization for artificial lighting, cooling, heating, and air conditioning in buildings results in the release of greenhouse gases and causes climate crises. In this regard, a...
Accelerated testing methods to analyse long term stability of a Phase Change Material under the combined effect of shear stress and thermal cycling
Abstract: The long-term stability of a Phase Change Material (PCM) is a key point for its selection in energy storage devices. This work studies the suitability of a commercial paraffin wax in an...
Passive thermal regulation with 3D printed phase change material/cellulose nanofibrils composites
Abstract: Application of phase change materials (PCM)-containing composite represents a promising passive thermal control strategy to provide indoor thermal comfort without using powered equipment....
