Description: Multifunctional Phase Change Materials: Fundamentals Properties and Applications updates on phase change materials (PC Ms) used for the storage of thermal energy as sensible and latent heat. This class of materials is the subject of intensive research both fundamental and applied as they substantially contribute to the efficient use and conservation of waste heat and solar energy. Different groups of materials have been investigated as PC Ms including inorganic systems (salt and salt hydrates) organic e. g. paraffins or fatty acids polymers and finally hybrid materials. Recent developments are focused on multifunctional PC Ms that provide functional features apart from energy storage such as desired optical or antibacterial properties. This book presents various synthesis approaches for functionalized materials as well as specific interactions and self - organization effects in polymer/functionalized (nano)particle systems. It reviews the current state - of - the - art in multifunctional phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications by describing the fundamentals of energy storage the main classes of PC Ms functionalization protocols encapsulation methods and shape stabilization procedures.
