Multifunctional Phase Change Materials: Fundamentals, Properties
and Applications updates on phase change materials (PCMs) used for
the storage of thermal energy as sensible and latent heat. This
class of materials is the subject of intensive research, both
fundamental and applied, as they substantially contribute to the
efficient use and conservation of waste heat and solar energy.
Different groups of materials have been investigated as PCMs,
including inorganic systems (salt and salt hydrates), organic,
e.g., paraffins or fatty acids, polymers, and finally, hybrid
materials. Recent developments are focused on multifunctional PCMs
that provide functional features apart from energy storage, such as
desired optical or antibacterial properties. This book presents
various synthesis approaches for functionalized materials, as well
as specific interactions and self-organization effects in
polymer/functionalized (nano)particle systems. It reviews the
current state-of-the-art in multifunctional phase change materials
for thermal energy storage applications by describing the
fundamentals of energy storage, the main classes of PCMs,
functionalization protocols, encapsulation methods and shape
stabilization procedures.
