Development of shape stable phase change materials with improved thermophysical properties

Development of shape stable phase change materials with improved thermophysical properties

Shape stable phase change materials (SSPCMs) based on paraffin wax (PW) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) can be used as energy storage materials for utilization of renewable energy in buildings. An SSPCM could be formed by selecting a suitable wax in terms of melting temperature (T m) and a HDPE...
