Abstract:Phase change materials (PCMs) are crucial for sustainable thermal management in energy‐efficient construction and cold chain logistics, as they can store and release renewable thermal energy. However, traditional PCMs suffer from leakage and a loss of formability above their phase change temperatures, limiting their shape stability and versatility. Inspired by the muscle structure, formable PCMs with a hierarchical structure and solvent‐responsive supramolecular networks based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/wood c… Show more
