Stearyl alcohol/palm triple pressed acid-graphite nanocomposites as phase change materials
Abstract
Blends of stearyl alcohol and stearic acid are suitable for thermal energy storage. Single melting and crystallization peaks observed in DSC at 35 wt.% stearyl alcohol. Thermal conductivity increased by a factor of six when adding 10 wt.% nanographite.
