Phase Change Materials for Energy Storage Applications from PEG and PBAT with AlN and CNT as Fillers.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the fabrication of phase change material-poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PCM-PBAT) composites through melt blending techniques, focusing on the impact of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) treatment on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) treatment on aluminum nitride (AlN) particles. Analysis of mechanical properties highlights an enhancement in tensile strength with APTES-treated AlN particles, while dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) reveals an increase in stiffness. Laser flash analysis (LFA) investigation demonstrates a significant increase, up to 325%, in thermal conductivity compared to PCM-PBAT composites without filler. Moreover, the fabricated composites exhibit enhanced latent heat storage capabilities, with the PC
