“…For example, we can add phase change energy storage [10] reagent in hydrogel during the hydrogel preparation process to prepare the automatic temperature control material. This material consist of water (high specific heat capacity) and phase change energy storage component, which can reduce the consumption of energy when using air conditioning to control the temperature in the car.…”

Like a solid, hydrogels do not flow. Like a liquid, small molecules diffuse through a hydrogel. Hydrogels are currently viewed as water-insoluble soft and wet materials, and they are usually composed of three-dimensional polymer network structure and a large amount of water (50 ~ 99%). It has potential applications in many fields, such as, drug delivery system, superabsorbent, biosensor, tissue engineering, wound dressing, and battery.

Design and Preparation of Carbon Based Composite Phase Change Material for Energy Piles

Energy piles—A fairly new renewable energy concept—Use a ground heat exchanger (GHE) in the foundation piles to supply heating and cooling loads to the supported building. Applying phase change materials (PCMs) to piles can help in maintaining a stable temperature within the piles and can then influence the axial load acting on the piles. In this study, two kinds of carbon-based composite PCMs (expanded graphite-based PCM and graphite nanoplatelet-based PCM) were prepared by vacuum impregnation for potential application in energy piles. Thereafter, a systematic study was performed and different characterization tests were carried out on two composite PCMs. The composite PCMs retained up to 93.1% of paraffin and were chemically compatible, thermally stable and reliable. The latent heat of the composite PCM was up to 152.8 J/g while the compressive strength of cement paste containing 10 wt % GNP-PCM was found to be 37 MPa. Hence, the developed composite PCM has potential for thermal energy storage applications.

“…Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system must be resistant to corrosion to ensure a suitable working lifetime. Extensive research has been conducted in relation to the corrosion resistance of metal samples such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminium and copper in contact with inorganic [24][25][26][27][28][29][30] mainly but also organic 27,[31][32][33][34][35][36] PCMs.…”

In this work, the compatibility of four commercially available organic phase change materials, with melting points in the temperature range 44-58 C and with engineering polymers high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP), is investigated. These polymers are used for the design and manufacture of hot and cold thermal energy storage tanks or encapsulation media. The study involves interaction of polymer specimens with the four different phase change materials for a period of time up to 40 days under high temperature. The mass change, mechanical strength and properties of the polymers were tested.The wt% uptake reached 6.4 wt% for PP and 5.8 wt% for HDPE. The strength of HDPE is immediately decreased by Day 7 but at a significant level restored after Day 28. No such effect was found for PP. The surface wetting as well as thermal properties measured (DSC) on the specimens provided an insight on the interaction of the absorbed phase change materials with the polymer. An in depth distribution over time was observed with significant decrease in the mechanical strength of the polymers. An epoxybased resin was also evaluated under the same conditions and is suggested as a protective coating.
