Preparation and Thermal Propertites of Polyethylene Glycol/ Silica Hollow Nanospheres Composite as Shape-Stabilized Phase Change Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Shape-stabilized phase change material (PCM) composed of polyethylene glycol and silica hollow nanospheres was prepared by a vacuum impregnating method. Thermal properties of the composite PCM were investigated by various techniques. Lower phase change temperature and enthalpy of the composite PCM were observed. It is concluded that the phase change properties of the composite PCM are influenced by the adsorption confinement of the PEG segments from the porous structure of the silica hollow nanospheres.
