The phase change property of lauric acid confined in carbon nanotubes as nano-encapsulated phase change materials

Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2018
Lauric acid (LA) impregnates in carbon nanotubes (CNTs), resulting in nano-encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs). TEM and DSC results both indicate that the filling of LA into CNTs is realized by the vacuum infiltration method. A further study of nano-encapsulated PCMs at the molecular level is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations.
