n-Octadecane/Fumed Silica Phase Change Composite as Building Envelope for High Energy Efficiency

A novel n-octadecane/fumed silica phase change composite has been prepared as a building envelope with a high content of phase change material and improved energy efficiency. With a high porosity (88 vol%), the fumed silica provided sufficient space to impregnate a high quantity of n-octadecane (70...
