Cellular PCM/graphite composites with improved thermal and electrical response

This work describes the preparation of cellular graphite/paraffin composites by a facile emulsification-based method. Graphite is readily dispersed in starch aqueous suspension and this readily emulsifies with liquid paraffin above its melting temperature. The resulting emulsion remains stable to al...
