Can Peg-based polyurethane PCM convert solar energy into heat energy?

In this study, PEG-based polyurethane PCM reversibly absorbed and stored thermal energy associated with a form-stable phase transition. Furthermore, f-PDAPs were used as photo-thermal fillers and cross-linking points in a PEG-based polyurethane PCM to convert solar energy into heat energy.

Are cross-linked polyurethane PCM composites suitable for solar-to-thermal energy storage?

Such cross-linked polyurethane PCM composites exhibited excellent self-healing properties under NIR irradiation. Due to their outstanding recyclability, interesting energy storage ability and form stability, they have enormous potential for applications in the fields of solar-to-thermal energy conversion and storage. 1. Introduction

Are polyurethane phase-change materials composites reversible?

Hence, we herein fabricated form-stable, reversible cross-linked polyurethane phase-change materials composites (DPCM-x) with excellent recyclability, outstanding self-healing ability (93.1%) and superior photo-thermal conversion efficiency (87.9%).

Are polyurethane composites reversible?

The polyurethane composites with multiple functions were successfully prepared. The reversible network endowed the composites with ability to heal and recycle. The composites had superior energy storage ability and photo-thermal conversion.

Are peg-based polyurethane phase-change materials reversible?

In order to overcome these drawbacks of PEG-based polyurethane phase-change materials, and inspired by dynamic chemistry, a reversible network was incorporated into PEG-based polyurethane phase-change materials to prepare form-stable cross-linked polyurethane phase-change materials (DPCM-x) composites with recyclable and self-healing properties.
