Thermal property measurement and heat storage analysis of LiNO3/KCl – expanded graphite composite phase change material (2014, methodology): “After the PCM has been mixed with the EG particles, it can be observed that eutectic salt crystals were distributed in the porous network of EG and wrapped by micron-size layers owning to the high capillary force [23,24].”
Synthesis and characterization of microcapsules containing Rubitherm®RT27 obtained by spray drying (2011, background): “Besides, the production of microcapsules with enhanced thermal and mechanical properties is typically achieved by further incorporation of metallic additives within the microcapsule structure [4,5,33–36].”
Effect of expanded graphite on properties of high-density polyethylene/paraffin composite with intumescent flame retardant as a shape-stabilized phase change material (2010, methodology): “Different techniques to improve this low thermal conductivity have been studied, such as adding graphite matrix [12], carbon fiber brushes [9] and nickel [13] in the PCM.”
Thermal conductivity enhancement of Ag nanowires on an organic phase change material (2010, background): “[16] improved the thermal conductivity of paraffin by impregnating porous graphite matrix with paraffin.”
