Foamy phase-change materials (FPCMs) based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blended with 30 wt.% of paraffin wax (W) were successfully prepared for the first time. The advantage of these materials is their double functionality. First, they serve as standard thermal insulators, and second, the paraffin wax acts as a phase change component that absorbs thermal energy (the latent heat) during melting if the temperature increases above its melting point, which ensures better heat protection of buildings, for instance, against overheating. The density of the porous fabricated FPCM was 0.2898 g/cm 3 with pore content 69 vol.% and gel portion achieved 27.5 wt.%. The thermal conductivity of the LLDPE/W foam was 0.09 W/m.K, whereas the thermal conductivity of the neat LLDPE foam prepared under the same conditions was 0.06 W/m.K, which caused a higher porosity of approximately 92 vol.%. The FPCM absorbed or released approximately 22-23 J/g during melting or cooling, respectively, and the material was stable under thermal and mechanical cycling.

The use of latent heat storage, microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs), is one of the most efficient ways of storing thermal energy and it has received a growing attention in the past decade. However, there is no complete overview of its utilisation in thermal energy storage systems, and the information is widely spread in the literature. In this paper, a comprehensive review has been carried out for MEPCMs. Four aspects have been the focus of this review: fabrication and characterization of MEPCMs, applications of MEPCMs to the textile and building, fundamental properties of microencapsulated phase change material slurry (MPCS) and application of MPCS to the thermal energy storage system. Over 140 recent publications are referenced in this paper.
