My team is involved in research on Phase Change Materials (PCM). PCM are substances or mixtures which, as a result of phase transitions (solid – liquid, solid – solid, vapor-liquid) maintain a constant temperature while they take or give away the so-called latent heat. PCMs can have different applications, i.e. storing solar energy, insulating buildings and recycling waste heat. The most effective PCM should meet the following criteria: 1) Demonstrate an appropriate phase transition temperature to meet practical application. 2) The greatest possible melting enthalpy to ensure a high heat storage capacity. 3) High thermal conductivity to achieve heat transfer as soon as possible. 4) They should be non-toxic and non-flammable to ensure safety. 6) Have a low price. As part of my research, I develop PCM materials in the form of a composite, which, after optimization, will meet the above assumptions as much as possible.
