Investigation of Lactones as Innovative Bio-Sourced Phase Change Materials for Latent Heat Storage

In the presented work, five bio-based and bio-degradable cyclic esters, i.e. lactones, have been investigated as possible phase change materials for applications in latent heat storage systems. Commercial natural lactones such as ε-caprolactone and γ-valerolactone were easily purch...
