Interpenetrating phase change polymer networks based on crosslinked polyethylene glycol and poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate)

High‐fracture‐toughness acrylic–polyurethane‐based graft‐interpenetrating polymer networks for transparent applications

“…In simultaneously polymerized IPNs, polymerization of the two polymer networks occurs at the same time, and no interfering reactions occur. 10,17,18 Numerous groups have studied IPN systems, such as those of Millar 19 and Aylsworth and Edison, 10,12,[20][21][22] who have utilized different monomers to investigate various aspects of IPNs. Extensive research on this topic has also been performed by the authors.…”

Thermo-Mechanical Behavior of Novel Wood Laminae-Thermoplastic Starch Biodegradable Composites With Thermal Energy Storage/Release Capability

“…Thanks to their elevated specific phase change enthalpy, narrow transition temperature interval, limited supercooling, lightness and cheapness, organic PCMs, i.e., paraffins, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and fatty acids, are probably the most widely diffused (Dorigato et al, 2017;Fredi et al, 2017). In particular, PEG is a versatile and biodegradable PCM with elevated melting enthalpy, tunable transition temperature range, elevated thermal stability, good biocompatibility, non-toxicity and noncorrosiveness (Sundararajan et al, 2016;Kou et al, 2019). Because of these peculiar properties, researchers have recently put much efforts to synthesize novel PCMs based on PEG, trying to physically blend PEG with other supporting materials, to perform chemical modifications to prepare PEG based solid/solid PCMs or to impregnate PEG in porous materials (Wang et al, 2016;Yang et al, 2016;Zhou et al, 2018).…”

Preparation and characterization of PEG/surface-modified layered double hydroxides as a new shape-stabilized phase change material

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8] As a promising PCM, polyethylene glycol (PEG) has received considerable attention due to its favourable performance, including large enthalpy capacity, appropriate phase transition temperature, noncorrosive and nontoxic nature, good thermal cycling and chemical stabilities, and reasonable price. [9][10][11] However, the commercial applicability of PEG is hampered given the fact that as a solid-liquid PCM, molten liquid PEG can easily leak out resulting in enthalpy loss during the melting process. 12 To overcome this disadvantage, many attempts have been made.…”
