Novel solid–solid phase change materials with biodegradable trihydroxy surfactants for thermal energy storage

“…Melting latent heat before and after thermal cycling and loss ratio of latent heat of solid-solid PCMsSolid-solid PCMsMelting latent heat before thermal cycling (J g À1 ) Melting latent heat aer thermal cycling (J g À1 )Table 4Freezing latent heat before and after thermal cycling and loss ratio of latent heat of solid-solid PCMs rate of 10 C min À1 and nitrogen atmosphere) as most previous literatures 1,3,20,27,35. For TES applications, the thermal stability of solid-solid PCMs is a very signicant parameter due to the negative effect of thermal degradation on the working life of solid-solid PCMs.…”

“…Su et al 25 prepared polyurethane block copolymer as solid-solid PCMs by solution polyaddition, which was composed of high molecule weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) as so segment, 4,4 0 -diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and 1,4butanediol (BDO) as a chain extender. Chen et al 27 prepared novel polyurethane-based solid-solid PCMs with different hexahydroxy compounds using sorbitol, dipentaerythritol and inositol as crosslinking agents.

Preparation and properties of polyethylene glycol based semi-interpenetrating polymer network as novel form-stable phase change materials for thermal energy storage

“…PCMs are commonly acknowledged as the efficient thermal energy storage materials, owing to the advantages of high density of energy storage and small temperature fluctuation during the phase change process [3,4]. Therefore, PCMs can be broadly applied in the fields of solar energy utilization [5], heat transfer fluid [6], temperature regulating greenhouses [6], building materials and temperature-regulating textiles [7,8].…”

Advanced Polymers for Reduced Energy Consumption in Architecture

“…Difficulty also arises due to the large difference between the crystallization and melting temperature (supercooling) as well as the limitation due to the fact that few polymers possess melting points within the working temperatures of a home. Poly(ethylene glycol) demonstrates one of the few polymers that can be utilized for these types of application as a result of its high ∆ H f (>150 kJ kg −1 ) and melting/crystallization temperatures within the working range of a traditional PCM . This enthalpy value is comparable to traditional organic molecules, which on average exhibit latent heat values of 190 kJ kg −1 .…”
