Fatty acid phase change materials (PCMs) have some advantages such as less corrosivity, no separation of subcooling phase and low price. In this paper, capric acid and palmitic acid are composited according to a certain mass ratio to prepare binary fatty acid. Capric–palmitic acid are absorbed...

Nano-graphite (NG)/paraffin composites were prepared as composite phase change materials. NG has the function of improving the thermal conductivity of the composite. The microstructure and thermal properties of the materials were examined with environmental scanning electron microscopy and...

An experimental study is presented on the cement mortar incorporated with expanded graphite (EG)/paraffin composite phase change material (PCM). The composite PCM was prepared by absorbing paraffin into EG with vacuum absorption method. The heat storage cement mortar (HSCM) with proper mass...
