Phase change materials are highly effective in improving the thermal efficiency of a heat exchanger, making them a choice for enhancing renewable energy to achieve a feasible environment. In this study, we used myristic acid (MA) as a phase change material and aluminium oxide (Al2O3), copper oxide (CuO) (2.5, 5, 10 wt %) and (1.0, 1.5, 2 wt %) of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were used as a nanoparticle to produce MA-embedded nanocomposite phase change material (NCPCM). The characterisation study was performed on nanocomposite phase change materials including field emission scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal Conductivity, and X-Ray diffraction. In addition, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was conducted to assess the impact of NCPCM on the rates of solidification and melting. The field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis confirms the homogeneous distribution of micro/nanoparticles Al2O3, CuO, and MWCNT with MA. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the crystalline nature of the nanocomposite. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results indicated that the graph displayed solely a physical interaction between nanocomposite and myristic acid. Higher concentration levels of NCPCM were found to have positive effects on the Heat Transfer Rate (HTR). The thermal performance of MWCNT-embedded MA was found to be superior to that of aluminium oxide and copper oxide.

“…This phenomenon shows that PCMs can absorb the latent heat and store it, which means PCMs can be chosen as a thermal storage material [4]. PCMs are materials with benefits that include a high capacity for storing solar thermal energy, the capability to transmit large amounts of latent heat, and elevated energy densities [5]. They can be composed of diverse materials, encompassing both natural and synthetic polymers.…”

Stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) offer precise control over drug release, enhancing therapeutic efficacy and minimizing side effects. This review focuses on DDSs that leverage the unique capabilities of phase change materials (PCMs) and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to achieve controlled drug release in response to pH and temperature changes. Specifically, this review highlights the use of a combination of lauric and stearic acids as PCMs that melt slightly above body temperature, providing a thermally responsive mechanism for drug release. Additionally, this review delves into the properties of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), a stable MOF under physiological conditions that decomposes in acidic environments, thus offering pH-sensitive drug release capabilities. The integration of these materials enables the fabrication of complex structures that encapsulate drugs within ZIF-8 or are enveloped by PCM layers, ensuring that drug release is tightly controlled by either temperature or pH levels, or both. This review provides comprehensive insights into the core design principles, material selections, and potential biomedical applications of dual-stimuli responsive DDSs, highlighting the future directions and challenges in this innovative field.
