Phase change materials (PCMs) have received increasing attention in recent years as they enable the storage of thermal energy form sensible and latent heat, are used advanced technical solutions for conservation sustainable waste energy. Importantly, most currently applied PCMs produced from non-renewable sources their carbon footprint is associated with some environmental impact. However, novel can also be designed fabricated using green without or a slight impact on environment. In this...

Abstract A series of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blends with cellulose (CEL) or derivatives—carboxymethyl (CMC), acetate (CAC), and ether (CET)—has been investigated as phase change materials for thermal energy storage. For PEO/CEL solid–solid transition has observed in the whole concentration's range; PEO/CMC PEO/CET found PEO content 25 50 wt%, respectively. Otherwise, solid–liquid takes place. MTDSC investigations revealed that strongest recrystallization effect (as evidenced by exothermic...
