Preparation, characterization and thermal properties of PMMA/n-heptadecane microcapsules as novel solid-liquid microPCM for thermal energy storage (2010, background): “In DSC curves, the main peak represents solid–liquid phase change (melting and freezing) of n-heptadecane, and the minor peak corresponds to solid–solid phase transition of n-heptadecane [42–44].”
Thermal conductivity improvement of stearic acid using expanded graphite and carbon fiber for energy storage applications (2007, methodology): “EG was prepared by rapid expansion and exfoliation of expandable graphite (particle size: 35–75 mm) in a furnace over 900 1C for 60 s [22].”
Experimental study of thermal conductivity and phase change performance of nanofluids PCMs (2009, background): “For more than a century time, numerous investigators have made great efforts to break these thermal properties limitation, diverse methods have been proposed to improve the thermal conductivity of PCMs: (1) fillers such as carbon fibers scattered in PCMs (Hamada et al. 2005; Frusteri et al. 2005); (”
Effect of expanded graphite on properties of high-density polyethylene/paraffin composite with intumescent flame retardant as a shape-stabilized phase change material (2010, background): “If the PCM is based on paraffin, the supporting material should have a similar skeleton, such as HDPE, PP, SBS [14–16].”
Experimental study on thermophysical properties of nanofluids as phase-change material (PCM) in low temperature cool storage (2012, methodology): “On the other hand, diverse methods have been proposed to improve the thermal conductivity of PCMs: (1) PCMs embedded in a high conductivity metal matrix structure [10]; (2) fillers such as carbon fibers scattered in PCMs [11]; (3) nanoparticles embedded in PCMs [12].”
