Encapsulation of Phase Change Materials Using Layer-by-Layer Assembled Polyelectrolytes

Phase change materials absorb the thermal energy when changing their phases (e.g., solid-to-liquid) at constant temperatures to achieve the latent heat storage. The major drawbacks such as limited thermal conductivity and leakage prevent the PCMs from wide application in desired areas. In this work,...
