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): “At the same time, the quantity of latent heat, thermal energy storage and release rate of the PCM have been given increasing attention [6–9].”
Combined experimental and numerical evaluation of a prototype nano-PCM enhanced wallboard (2014, background): “High thermal conductivity is a desirable characteristic of PCMs in energy storage applications, but the lower conductivity of paraffins decreases the rates of heat stored and released during the phase change processes, limiting their utility areas [17,18].”
Experimental and numerical investigation of the application of phase change materials in a simulative power batteries thermal management system (2014, background): “[22] and Sarı and Karaipekli [23] reported that at the cost of the specific enthalpy of phase change, by increasing the EG mass fraction in the composite, the thermal conductivity of the composite PCM was to be improved, leading to a faster battery temperature elevating rate but the higher temperatu”
