INVESTIGATION OF PHASE CHANGE CONDUCTING MATERIALS PREPARED FROM POLYETHYLENES, PARAFFIN WAXES AND COPPER
Phase change materials based on polyethylene (LDPE, LLDPE and HDPE) and copper (micro and nano) blended with soft paraffin wax were studied in this work. The purpose of this study was to form composites that can store energy as well as conduct heat. The influence of wax content, as well as copper co...
