Development of thermal energy storage materials for biomedical applications

Abstract: The phase change materials (PCMs) have been utilized widely for solar thermal energy storage (TES) devices. The quality of these materials to remain at a particular temperature during solid-liquid, liquid-solid phase transition can also be utilized for many biomedical applications as well and has been explored in recent past already. This study reports some novel PCMs developed by them, along with some existing PCMs, to be used for such biomedical applications. Interestingly, it was observed that the heating/c… Show more

“…Thus, we introduce a simple method to stabilize a continuous air gap within a nanocellulose shell, yielding stable and self-standing nanocellulose-based hollow filaments (HF). We further demonstrate the infilling of PCMs using the hollow filaments for uses in thermal energy management, with a potentially significant impact on wearable devices, wound dressing materials, and protecting temperature-sensitive goods. , For instance, the system can be further considered for bandages and wound/burn dressings, given the liquid transport and antibacterial features that can be added, while maintaining the temperature in contact with the skin or in biomedical patches and implantable energy-storage devices. , The cellulose nanofiber shell component brings additional benefits of cost-effectiveness, biocompatibility, lightweightness, safety, and sustainability. , …”

“…[63,66] These materials are not popular due to their high cost and lack of knowledge, but there is potential to make them more dependable, cost-effective, and efficient. [67] The World Health Organization (WHO) is encouraging researchers to find costeffective solutions for preserving heat-sensitive medications for extended periods of time at a safe temperature. This may be accomplished by making use of PCM's heat-storing and releasing capabilities.…”

“…In the DSC analysis, the difference in the heat flow between the reference and the test sample was recorded as a function of temperature. The accuracy in the temperature and enthalpy measurement was ±0.1 • C, and ±2% respectively [23]. In the DSC analysis, the area under the curve provides the latent heat of fusion and crystallization, and the tangent at the point of highest slope provides the onset melting and freezing point.…”
