Supercooling elimination of phase change materials (PCMs) microcapsules
Abstract Microencapsulated phase change materials (PCM) must not experience any supercooling, otherwise cannot be used in any latent heat applications. In this study Rubitherm ® RT58 and1-octadecanol were selected as nucleating agents in an attempt to reduce or eliminate the supercooling issue of PCM in microcapsules.

Latent Heat Storage with Phase Change Materials (PCMs) [PDF]
Latent heat thermal energy storage with phase change materials (PCMs) is attractive since providing a high energy density storage due to the phase change by solidification/melting at constant temperature. Relative to sensible heat energy storage systems, latent heat storage with PCMs requires a smaller weight and volume of material for a given amount ...
