Description
Summary:The article presents studies of nanomodified materials based on paraffin waxes with polyethylene as heat-storage materials. Accumulation of thermal energy is possible when converting electrical energy into thermal energy. In this case, the accumulation of thermal energy can occur as a central zone of nanomodified materials, and at its ends. This is due to the location of the electrodes in nanomodified materials. When CNT was mixed with polyethylene and the mixture was subsequently heated on the surface of a CNT, a homogeneous PE layer of a special structure was formed. The presented feature of the interaction can be considered as a special case of functionalization.
