Abstract:Phase changing materials (PCMs) have been widely investigated because of their unique properties and applications. In recent years, PCMs have been embedded into polymer fibers for thermal regulating purposes. The PCMcontaining polymer fibers, however, usually suffer the leakage problem because PCMs are not covered well by polymers in fibers. To solve this problem, in this study, we develop a facile strategy to fabricate PCM-containing polymer fibers without the leakage problem. The PCM/polystyrene (PS) coreshe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
