Graphene oxide improved thermal and mechanical properties of electrospun methyl stearate/polyacrylonitrile form-stable phase change composite nanofibers

Ag-coated polyurethane fibers membranes absorbed with quinary fatty acid eutectics solid-liquid phase change materials for storage and retrieval of thermal energy

“…Thermal energy storage and retrieval rates of the synthesized composite PCMs were measured through the same experimental procedures as explained in our previous publications [17,18]. Firstly we cut samples into small pieces and then put into the glass bottle.…”

“…Due to these limitations, form-stable PCMs consisting of fatty acids or their eutectic mixtures and supporting materials have been rapidly developed to overcome these problems. The supporting materials are mainly polymers (e.g., PMMA [12], polystyrene [13], polypyrrole [14], styrene-methylmethacrylate (St-MMA) [15], Poly(melamine-urea-formaldehyde) [16], polyamide 6 [17], polyacrylonitrile [18], etc.) and inorganic materials (e.g., expanded graphite and carbon fibers [19], expanded perlite [20], Kaolin [21], activated-attapulgiate [22], activated montmorillonite [23], silicon dioxide [24], nitrogen-doped graphene [25], etc.…”

Synthesis and thermal properties of cross-linked poly(acrylonitrile-co-itaconate)/polyethylene glycol as novel form-stable change material

“…It has attracted more and more researchers to explore the PAN as PCM packaging material in recent years [25][26][27][28]. Here, we prepare a novel cross-linked network structure of acrylonitrile copolymer P(AN-co-IA) with itaconic acid (IA) as comonomer.…”

Synthesis and characterization of graphene sheets grafted with linear triblock copolymers based on methacrylate ester

“…Thermogravimetry had been successfully used to determine physical properties of chemical materials and investigated the process of chemical reaction for its precision, sensitivity, expeditiousness, and the small sample amount required in each experimental test [34][35][36][37]. It was very useful in the investigation of thermal stability of GSs, and its composite material and synthesis derivatives, especially to calculate the composition of polymer grafted on the surface of GO and to reveal the mass changes during their thermal decomposition.…”
