Thermal energy storage (TES) facilitates the integration of renewable by decoupling production and consumption, mitigating intermittence issues. However, current TES systems use fossil fuel-based products as media, so development sustainable efficient materials should be investigated. This work aims to design characterization new eco-friendly nanoenhanced phase change (NePCMs) based on dispersi...

The rheological properties of poly(ethylene oxide) containing graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) having different specific surface areas (SSAs) are studied using steady shear and small amplitude oscillatory experiments. A series GNPs SSAs ranging from 175 ± 5 to 430 13 m2/g was prepared a thermomechanical exfoliation process. complex viscosity, moduli, yield stress the composites increase with SSA, ...

A solvent-free method for the fabrication of thermally conductive epoxy-boron nitride (BN) nanoplatelet composite material is developed in this study. By this method, polymer composites with nearly any filler fractions can be easily fabricated. The maximum thermal conductivity reaches 5.24 W/mK, which is 1,600% improvement in comparison with that of pristine epoxy material. In addition, the as-...
