Abstract:Palm or coconut oil is capable of dissolving in a mixture of bisphenol A-based epoxy resin and a high-temperature hardener (4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone) when heated and then forms a dispersed phase as a result of cross-linking and molecular weight growth of the epoxy medium. Achieving the temporary miscibility between the curing epoxy matrix and the vegetable oil allows a uniform distribution of vegetable oil droplets in the epoxy medium. This novel approach to creating a dispersed phase-change material made … Show more
