Preparation, characterization and thermal properties of Lauryl alcohol/Kaolin as novel form-stable composite phase change material for thermal energy storage in buildings

This research was aimed at developing novel form-stable composite phase change material (PCM) by incorporation of Lauryl alcohol (LA) into Kaolin (KO) through vacuum impregnation. The composite PCM was characterized by using SEM and FT-IR. Thermal properties, thermal stability and reliability of the...
