[PMID: 38730787 PMCID: PMC11084883 DOI: 10.3390/ma17091978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Sustainable composite materials, including carnauba wax, can store energy in the form of latent heat, and containing the wax may allow form-stable melting and crystallization cycles to be performed. Here, it is shown that carnauba wax in the molten state and the abundant nanoclay montmorillonite form stable composites with mass ratios of 50-70% (w/w). Transmission electron microscopy analysis reveals the inhomogeneous distribution of the nanoclay in the wax matrix. Analyses with infrared and multinuclear solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy prove the chemical inertness of the composite materials during preparation. No new phases are formed according to studies with powder X-ray diffraction. The addition of the nanoclay increases the thermal conductivity and prevents the leakage of the phase change material, as well as reducing the time intervals of the cycle of accumulation and the return of heat. The latent heat increases in the row 69.5 ± 3.7 J/g, 95.0 ± 2.5 J/g, and 107.9 ± 1.7 J/g for the composite materials containing resp. 50%, 60% and 70% carnauba wax. Analysis of temperature-dependent 13C cross-polarization solid-state NMR spectra reveal the enhanced amorphization and altered molecular dynamics of the carnauba wax constituents in the composite materials. The amorphization also defines changes in the thermal transport mechanism in the composites compared to pure wax at elevated temperatures.

Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) have received increasing attention in recent years as they enable the storage of thermal energy in the form of sensible and latent heat, and they are used in advanced technical solutions for the conservation of sustainable and waste energy. Importantly, most of the currently applied PCMs are produced from non-renewable sources and their carbon footprint is associated with some environmental impact. However, novel PCMs can also be designed and fabricated using green materials without or with a slight impact on the environment. In this work, the current state of knowledge on the bio-based polymers in PCM applications is described. Bio-based polymers can be applied as phase-change materials, as well as for PCMs encapsulation and shape stabilization, such as cellulose and its derivatives, chitosan, lignin, gelatin, and starch. Vast attention has been paid to evaluation of properties of the final PCMs and their application potential in various sectors. Novel strategies for improving their thermal energy storage characteristics, as well as to impart multifunctional features, have been presented. It is also discussed how bio-based polymers can extend in future the potential of new environmentally-safe PCMs in various industrial fields.

Abstract
The growth of high-efficiency phase change material (PCM) nanocomposites with good heat conduction and substantial thermal capacity was of vital significance for practical matters in the sustainable utilization of energy. A novel leakage-proof n-heptadecane-graphene nanocomposite was prepared by a direct impregnation procedure from n-heptadacne as a PCM and nanographene as a skeleton. The creation of shape-stabilized nanocomposite was checked with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis illustrated that the n-heptadecane and graphene had favourable compatibility and there was no phase separation and graphene accumulation. Thermal analysis showed that the shape-stabilized nanocomposite not only had a good phase transition enthalpy (101.7 J/g) and n-heptadecane content (45.6 %) but also possessed appropriate thermal stability. The heat conduction of the obtained mesoporous nanocomposite was up to 1.527 W/mK, with a growth of 808 % compared to pure n-heptadecane. Furthermore, the optimized nanocomposite held auspicious thermal reliability, being exposed to 400 thermal cycles. Moreover, the thermoregulation tests demonstrated that the gypsum boards containing optimized nanocomposite showed a slow heat release rate and improved the building temperature profile over only the gypsum board. By virtue of the combination of n-heptadecane and thermal conductive nanographene, the obtained engineered nanocomposite might be regarded as a smart material for energy-conserving and temperature regulation in buildings.

Abstract
How to construct a functional unit for heat storage by using biomass materials is significant for the exploration of phase change materials (PCMs). In this work, we try to design and construct a functional unit for heat storage by employing a vacuum impregnation method to prepare sugarcane-based shape stabilized phase change materials (SSPCMs) for improving the thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCMs) and preventing the liquid state leakage of PCMs. The morphologies of the prepared materials are characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM) as containing a unique channel structure which is viewed as the key factor for heat storage. X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to characterize the prepared materials. The results indicated that no chemical reaction occurred between PEG and sugarcane-based biomass during the preparation process and SSPCMs showed great thermal stability. Their thermal properties are measured by using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) characterization and show a high melting enthalpy of 140.04 J/g and 94.84% of the relative enthalpy efficiency, illustrating the excellent shape stabilized phase change behavior. Moreover, the highest thermal conductivity of SSPCMs is up to 0.297 W/(mK), which is 28.02% higher than that of the pristine PEG. The excellent capability for thermal energy storage is attributed to the directional thermal conduction skeletons and perfect open channels and the unique anisotropic three-dimensional structure of the SSPCMs. Hence, the unique structure with PEG is testified as the functional unit for heat storage. Comprehensively considering the excellent properties of sugarcane-based materials—providing cheap raw materials via green preparation—it is conceived that sugarcane-based materials could be applied in many energy-related devices with reasonable function unit design.

To control the food quality and improve the food safety standards, proteins polysaccharide and lipid-based packaging films are enriched with bioactive and functional substances. However, poor permeability and mechanical characteristics are the challenging areas in their commercialization. Scientists and researchers are using a combination of techniques i.e. hydrogels, crosslinking, etc. to improve the intermolecular forces between different components of the film formulation to counter these challenges More recently, biodegradable packaging materials, sometimes edible, are also used for the delivery of functional ingredients which reveals their potential for drug delivery to counter the nutrient deficiency problems. This study highlights the potentials of bio-based materials i.e. proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, etc. to develop biodegradable packaging materials. It also explores the additives used to improve the physicochemical and mechanical properties of biodegradable packaging materials. Furthermore, it highlights the novel trends in biodegradable packaging from a food safety and quality point of view.
