“…Phase‐change materials (PCMs), a group of substances capable of absorbing or releasing a large amount of energy during phase transition at a nearly constant temperature, are considered to be good alternatives to dry ice containers to avoid temperature fluctuations in the food industry such as chilling storage sections along with packaging applications . However, the phase change from solid to liquid during the heat storage process limits the commercial application of PCMs …”

“…19,20 However, the phase change from solid to liquid during the heat storage process limits the commercial application of PCMs. 21 Microencapsulation technology is increasingly used to isolate PCMs as core materials from the surrounding materials when the phase change occurs, promoting its application in small thermal storage systems. 22 The use of PCM microcapsules in small and portable containers is also a competitive strategy, mainly due to the increased heat transfer area and the protection of core materials against the environment.…”

BACKGROUND In this study, we evaluated the combined effect of cinnamon essential oil (CEO) microemulsions, and a temperature buffering package using phase‐change material (PCM) microcapsules on the physicochemical property, lipid oxidation, and bacterial load of traditional Chinese pork balls (shi zi tou) during temperature fluctuation storage for 9 days. RESULTS Transmission electron microscope characterization revealed that n‐tetradecane microcapsules possessed a core‐shell spherical shape with a size ranging from 300 to 600 nm. The use of n‐tetradecane microcapsule packaging was found to maintain cold storage temperature efficiently. After 9 days of storage, the combination of CEO microemulsions with n‐tetradecane microcapsules did not lead to changes in the color parameters of pork balls. At day 9, n‐tetradecane microcapsules, used alone or in combination with CEO microemulsions, showed lower thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values than the control group, while their combination exhibited the lowest pH and 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) values. Furthermore, the combination treatment retarded the growth of total plate count, lactic acid bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, and Staphylococcus spp. after 4 and 9 days. CONCLUSIONS The combinations of CEO microemulsions and PCM microcapsules could extend the shelf‐life of cooked pork products, suggesting a feasible strategy for meat preservation. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Because a large number of PCMs are available or under development for SACSs, it is difficult to find the best suitable PCM. Naziret et al 61 However, dozens of potential materials may still be available for a given scenario. In contrast, the selection can be more comprehensive, user-friendly, faster, and accurate by using a database.…”

Review of latent thermal energy storage systems for solar air‐conditioning systems

et al. 2019

Solar air conditioning is an important approach to satisfy the high demand for cooling given the global energy situation. The application of phase-change materials (PCMs) in a thermal storage system is a way to address temporary power problems of solar air-conditioning systems. This paper reviews the selection, strengthening, and application of PCMs and containers in latent thermal storage system for solar air-conditioning systems. The optimization of PCM container geometry is summarized and analyzed. The hybrid enhancement methods for PCMs and containers and the cost assessment of latent thermal storage system are discussed. The more effective heat transfer enhancement using PCMs was found to mainly involve micro-nano additives. Combinations of fins and nanoadditives, nanoparticles, and metal foam are the main hybrid strengthening method. However, the thermal storage effect of hybrid strengthening is not necessarily better than single strengthening. At the same time, the latent thermal storage unit has less application in the field of solar airconditioning systems, especially regarding heat recovery, because of its cost and thermal storage time. The integration of latent thermal storage units and solar air-conditioning components, economic analysis of improvement technology, and quantitative studies on hybrid improvement are potential research directions in the future.

“…The different morphological structure of the microcapsules includes simple core shell, irregular core coated with shell, multi shell microcapsule and particles with continuous matrix. The shell material should be mechanically stronger to withstand any stress generated during volume expansion when the PCM is melted and solidified …”

Microencapsulation of phase change material (PCM), stearic acid (SA) into strontium titanate (SrTiO3) shell was generated by means of sol‐gel approach using strontium nitrate and titanium tetraisopropoxide as precursors. The influence of core‐to‐shell ratio (stearic acid‐to‐strontium nitrate) was investigated on encapsulation ratio, stability and encapsulation efficiency in detail. It turned out that a maximum encapsulation efficiency of 41% and encapsulation ratio of 39% were resulted for the (1:2) ratio microencapsulated PCM. The TGA data confirmed that the fabricated MEPCMs degraded in two steps with less weight loss (78%) compared to pristine SA (99.76%). The cycling stability test recorded after 500 melting/solidification cycles revealed that the developed microcapsules retained excellent thermal stability. Detailed preparation of MEPCM and its analytical as well as thermal characterizations are presented.
