A Facile and Simple Method for Preparation of Novel High-Efficient Form-Stable Phase Change Materials Using Biomimetic–Synthetic Polydopamine Microspheres as a Matrix for Thermal Energy Storage

A Facile and Simple Method for Preparation of Novel High-Efficient Form-Stable Phase Change Materials Using Biomimetic–Synthetic Polydopamine Microspheres as a Matrix for Thermal Energy Storage

Polydopamine microspheres (PDAMs), synthesized using a biomimetic method, were used as a matrix for polyethylene glycol (PEG) to develop a novel high-efficient form-stable phase change material (PEG/PDAM) using a simple vacuum impregnation strategy. The PDAMs were first used as a support for the org...
