Jet-Injection In Situ Production of PVDF/PCM Composite Fibers for Thermal Management.

ABSTRACT: Thermal management protects against external agents and increases the lifetime and performance of the devices in which it is implemented. Because of their ability to store and release a high amount of energy at a nearly constant temperature, phase change materials (PCMs) are promising thermoregulatory materials. Thus, the manufacture of PVDF fibers containing PCMs has advantages since PVDF is already used in elements that are susceptible to thermal management as a binder in batteries or as a base material for fabrics. This work presents a simple, versatile, in situ, cost-effective, and easy-to-scale-up method to produce PVDF-based fibers containing paraffin RT-28HC for thermal management. To achieve that goal, the microfluidic approach of coaxial flows was simplified to gravity-aided lamin
