Phase change materials (PCMs) based on hydrated salts are promising candidates for
energy storage and release applications owing to their relatively high latent heats per …

In this study, tetradecane was selected as a phase change material (PCM) to provide a
thermal buffering system for meat packaging. Firstly, tetradecane was capsulated within a …

Phase change materials (PCMs) are a class of thermoresponsive or thermoregulative
materials that can be utilized to reduce temperature fluctuations and provide cutting-edge …

The aim of this research is to enhance the performance of Glauber's salt (sodium sulfate
decahydrate, SSD) as a phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage …

Phase change cold storage technology can improve the efficiency of energy storage in cold
chain logistics. In this paper, a new ternary salt-water eutectic phase change gel was …
