Fatty acid alkyl ester nanowebs suitable for renewable thermal energy storage
(2020-08)
Owing to their high heat absorption and release capacities, chemical and thermal stability, non-toxicity, two fatty acid alkyl esters (FAAEs), methyl palmitate (MP) and isopropyl palmitate (IPP), were investigated for their ...
Thermal insulation capability of PEG-containing polyurethane foams
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2008-09-15)
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) compounds and mixtures have many properties that make them suitable for thermal applications in buildings, such as having high heat of fusion, phase change repeatability, chemical stability, ...
Production of PEG grafted PAN copolymers and their electrospun nanowebs as novel thermal energy storage materials
(Elsevier Science Bv, Po Box 211, 1000 AE Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2016-11-10)
This paper deals with the synthesis of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) grafted poly(acrylo nitrile) (PAN) copolymers as novel solid-solid phase change materials via two step free radical polymerization reaction. The structural ...
Thermal Characteristics of Polyurethane Foams Incorporated with Phase Change Materials
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2007-03-15)
Thermal energy storage plays an important role in heat management because of the demand for developed energy conservation, and has applications in diverse areas, from building heating/cooling systems which enable solar ...
The manufacture of microencapsulated phase change materials suitable for the design of thermally enhanced fabrics
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2007-01-15)
Thermal comfort of a fabric is one of the important tasks of the designers that require an engineering approach. In this study, we first aimed to establish a manufacturing technique based on in situ polymerization in order ...
Preparation Of Phase Change Material-Montmorillonite Composites Suitable For Thermal Energy Storage
(Elsevier Science Bv, Po Box 211, 1000 Ae Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2011-09-20)
A new type of organoclay composite (PMMT) with good heat storage and release capacity was produced by intercalating n-hexadecane with Na-montmorillonite (Na-MMT) in a surfactant-assisted medium. The expansion of Na-MMT ...
Encapsulation of phase change materials by complex coacervation to improve thermal performances of woven fabrics
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2008-01-30)
In this study, three types of paraffin waxes suitable for textile applications, namely n-hexadecane, n-octadecane and n-nonadecane were encapsulated through complex coacervation of natural and biodegradable polymers, gum ...
