Abstract
Thermal energy harvesting, storage, conversion and utilization technologies based on phase change materials (PCMs) have received widely attention. The intelligent integration of PCMs with functional carriers or nano-additives enables the application of energy such as thermal, light, electricity and magnetism in different fields. Herein, we discuss strategies for the preparation of multifunctional composite PCMs with enhanced properties, including PCMs selection, encapsulation carrier design, thermal performance optimization, and functional integration methods. The latest progress of advanced applications of multifunctional composite PCMs in the fields of thermal management, thermal protection, medical, energy saving, and thermal camouflage is reviewed. The multifunctional design characteristics of PCMs for different applications are emphasized, as well as the relationship between the structure and thermo-physical properties of multifunctional composite PCMs. Finally, the remaining challenges of multifunctional composite PCMs and the fields that need to be broken through for advanced applications are envisioned.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
