Feasibility of Storing Latent Heat with Liquid Crystals. Proof of Concept at Lab Scale
In this work, the first experimental results of thermotropic liquid crystals used as phase change materials for thermal storage are presented. For that purpose, the n = 10 derivative from the family of 4′-n-alkoxybiphenyl-4-carboxylic acids has been prepared. Different techniques like polarized-ligh...
