This research demonstrates improved thermal conductivity and shape stability in a composite material, indicating new possibilities for phase change materials in applications.
Key Points
The composite achieved a 312% enhancement in thermal conductivity compared to base materials.
Testing revealed no leakage of the composite at high temperatures of 80°C during thermal cycles.
A significant 68.5% decrease in light transmittance was observed, which may impact certain applications.
Performance remained stable with only a minor (~12%) reduction in latent heat across 300 thermal cycles.
