Thermal conductivity and latent heat thermal energy storage characteristics of paraffin/expanded graphite composite as phase change material (2007, methodology): “18 mm in diameter to obtain the optimum ratio between the length and the diameter (575), justifying the validity of the method [22].”
An investigation of melting/freezing characteristics of nanoparticle-enhanced phase change materials (2012, result): “This phenomenon was also in agreement with the study of Frusteri [28], who simulated the phase change of inorganic PCM containing carbon fibers.”
Effects of nano-SiO2 on morphology, thermal energy storage, thermal stability, and combustion properties of electrospun lauric acid/PET ultrafine composite fibers as form-stable phase change materials (2011, background): “To mitigate the problem, expanded graphite (EG) [13–15], carbon fiber [13,16,17], and b-Aluminum nitride [18] have been incorporated into PCMs.”
Thermal conductivity improvement of stearic acid using expanded graphite and carbon fiber for energy storage applications (2007, methodology): “These results were attributed to high thermal conductivity of the EG (4–100W/mK) and CF (190W/mK) [15,17,20–22].”
