Live Breaking News & Updates on Form Stable Phase Change Material

To overcome the problem of unable automatic turn on and off response to the ambient temperature of current static radiative cooling systems, we prepared a series of temperature-responsive transmission switch film (TRTSF) samples using n-octadecane as phase change material (PCM) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as carrier material. The phase change cycle permeability analysis showed that the TRTSF samples with PCM content above 30.0 w.t.% exhibit a serious leakage problem due to a large number of holes on surface. The TRTSF samples with 10.0–30.0 w.t.% PCM content were further analysed by Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetry (TG), and compared with the theoretical PCM contents, which verified the reliability of the curing results of PCM in TRTSF from various aspects. The ultraviolet–visible light-near-infrared (UV–VIS-NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) transmittance characterization of TRTSF revealed that the switching effect was obvious during solid–liquid phase ....
