Phase change material (PCM), has been widely researched in many previous works, shows a good potential for thermal energy storage. The present paper investigated the mesoscopic morphologies and evolution mechanism of microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs) using dissipative particle...

Encapsulated phase change materials with good thermophysical and transport properties are of growing importance for heat transfer fluid in thermal energy storage systems. The presented work aims to understand the melting mechanism of nano-encapsulated phase change materials from molecular point...

This paper reviews the development and application of energy saving latent heat storage phase change materials (PCMs) and environmental friendly humidity-controlled materials for indoor thermal management and humidity control. Based on the studies reported in the literatures, we indicated that...
