“…For more systematic research, Andrzej [ 93 ] provided the extensive study and experimental data analysis to research the macroscopic behavior of PE effect and set a rule governing the evolution for parameters of internal state. Meanwhile, Arvanitakis [ 94 ] constructed a constitutive level‐set model under an assumption in two types of process between martensite and austenite. The PE effect of SMA enables to manufacture the exceptional products, such as stents, eyeglass frame, and endoscope equipment for minimally invasive surgery.…”

Using a phase change material (PCM) to convert energy as a specific medium can date back to three hundred years ago, when steam engines took advantage of water that can evaporate into water vapor to convert energy. PCMs enable themselves to absorb, store, and release energies actively to maintain the object temperature on the basis of ambient temperature. PCMs have a robust 20% compound annual growth rate in the global smart materials market. [1] To this date, extensive works have been conducted to investigate the application of smart PCMs in various scientific, technological, and industrial fields, including energy storage, heat exchanger, [2] water treatment, [3] thermal management of electrical equipment, [4] textile and fabrics, [5,6] biomedical and biocarrier systems, and so on. It has become especially popular in the fields of architectonics and textile manufacture. The latest study by Tung et al. [7] proposed to utilize nanotechnology to fabricate PCMs to develop a novel smart concrete, while PCM-treated textiles have been widely used in apparel and home products, [8] in particular a precool vest invented by Australian Institute of Sport at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. [9] PCM composites can be formed with additional or modified properties with six "multifeatures" that are multimaterial, multisystem, multimodulus, multiscale, multifunction, and multidimensional (Figure 1). Impregnating PCM into mechanically stable porous materials can improve stability, while adding metallic pieces or foams [10] can increase thermal conductivity; but it is also limited by the convection reduction or elimination in the liquid phase through combining with fast-response materials into PCM. To maintain the mechanical properties of a material, the characteristic dimension of the internal structure of the composite material is at or below the millimeter scale.
