Thermal property measurement and heat storage analysis of LiNO3/KCl – expanded graphite composite phase change material (2014, methodology): “Techniques as insertion of fins, introduction of metal fillers or carbon materials and impregnation of PCMs into highly conductive porous structures are attempted to be used in LTES systems [17–19].”
A novel hybrid thermal management for Li-ion batteries using phase change materials embedded in copper foams combined with forced-air convection (2019, background): “Since the thermal conductivity of PCMs is in general low, many high thermally conductive materials have been used to enhance the overall thermal conductivity of the composite.”
Micro-Encapsulated Phase Change Materials: A Review of Encapsulation, Safety and Thermal Characteristics (2016, neutral): “The addition of 10% NG by weight is reported to increase the thermal conductivity of paraffin from 0.2 to 0.94 W/m·K [52].”
