The effects of compounding conditions on the properties of fatty acids eutectic mixtures as phase change materials

Preparation, Thermophysical Studies, and Corrosion Analysis of a Stable Capric Acid/Cetyl Alcohol Binary Eutectic Phase Change Material for Cold Thermal Energy Storage

“…He et al . prepared a eutectic mixture of stearic acid and myristic acid with a eutectic mass ratio of 36–64 %.…”

“…He et al [26] prepared ae utectic mixture of stearic acid and myristic acid with ae utectic mass ratio of 36-64 %. Thet hermal properties and chemical structures of the prepared eutectic mixtures were analyzed by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and FTIR spectroscopy at different mixing temperatures.F rom the results,t he authors confirmed that the preparation of the eutectic mixture was only a simple physical mixingp rocess without any chemical reaction and that the molecular structures of the fatty acids were not destroyed by heating or vibrating.…”

Direct Incorporation of Butyl Stearate as Phase Change Material into Concrete for Energy Saving in Buildings

“…He et al [11] studied preparation and characteristics of a composite phase change material produced by incorporating polynary fatty acid eutectic mixture into sludge ceramsite. Five different kinds of polynary fatty acid eutectic mixtures were used as PCM and one of them, suitable for regulating room temperature, was absorbed into sludge ceramsite by vacuum.…”

Stearic-acid/carbon-nanotube composites with tailored shape-stabilized phase transitions and light–heat conversion for thermal energy storage

“…The organic solid-liquid PCMs, like paraffin and fatty acids, have been recommended as favorable PCMs due to their applicable phase change latent heat, wide phase change temperatures for convenient use, chemical stability, non-toxicity, and abundance in natural resources [8][9][10]. However, the direct application of the organic PCMs for thermal energy storage has been restricted by a number of problems including their low thermal conductivity and leakage resulting from the liquid fluidity during the repeated solid-liquid phase transitions.…”
