Abstract
Functional phase change materials (PCMs) capable of reversibly storing and releasing tremendous thermal energy during the isothermal phase change process have recently received tremendous attention in interdisciplinary applications. The smart integration of PCMs with functional supporting materials enables multiple cutting-edge interdisciplinary applications, including optical, electrical, magnetic, acoustic, medical, mechanical, and catalytic disciplines etc. Herein, we systematically discuss thermal storage mechanism, thermal transfer mechanism, and energy conversion mechanism, and summarize the state-of-the-art advances in interdisciplinary applications of PCMs. In particular, the applications of PCMs in acoustic, mechanical, and catalytic disciplines are still in their infancy. Simultaneously, in-depth insights into the correlations between microscopic structures and thermophysical properties of composite PCMs are revealed. Finally, current challenges and future prospects are also highlighted according to the up-to-date interdisciplinary applications of PCMs. This review aims to arouse broad research interest in the interdisciplinary community and provide constructive references for exploring next generation advanced multifunctional PCMs for interdisciplinary applications, thereby facilitating their major breakthroughs in both fundamental researches and commercial applications.

Abstract
Compared with the thermal curing process, the photocuring process has advantages such as high efficiency and less energy consumption. However, the preparation of photocurable phase change materials (PCMs) with photothermal conversion and self-cleaning properties is challenging due to the conflict between the transparency required by the photocurable resin system and the opacity deduced by the large number of fillers required by photothermal conversion and the negative effect of filler steric hindrance on the reaction rate and crystallinity. In this work, a "thiol-ene" click chemical reaction induced using UV was used to prepare photocurable PCMs, followed by spraying a carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotube (CCNT) suspension (with ethyl acetate) onto the surface to achieve an effective two-layer composite of the PCM and CCNTs, by which the rough surface of the PCM and the interaction offered by the hydrogen bonds on the interface of the PCM and the CCNTs provide sufficient adhesion for the two phases. The "thiol-ene" cross-linked polymer network provided shape stability as a support material. 1-Octadectanethiol (ODT) and beeswax (BW) were encapsulated in the cross-linked polymer network as phase change components, providing phase change latent heat. The CCNT layer provided excellent photothermal conversion and self-cleaning properties. The experimental results show that the latent heat of the PCM can reach 124.2 J/g, the water contact angle is 144°, the photothermal conversion efficiency reaches 75%, and it has significant self-cleaning performance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on a photocurable PCM with photothermal conversion and self-cleaning properties.

Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) as one of the most potential latent heat storage techniques have been widely used for thermal management and energy storage. However, simultaneously imparting flexibility, high thermal conductivity, and considerable energy storage density to organic PCMs remains challenging. In this work, a coupling strategy combining substance exchange and magnetic orientation has been proposed to fabricate phase change gels (PCGs) with thermally induced flexibility and high through-plane thermal conductivity. In the PCGs, synthesized boron nitride/ferroferric oxide (BN@Fe3O4) particles and polyacrylic acid (PAA) precursor liquid are introduced to polyethylene glycol (PEG) aqueous solution, and a magnetic field is applied in the process of PAA network construction to promote ordered arrangement of BN@Fe3O4 along the direction of the magnetic field. Consequently, PEG is wrapped by the cross-linked PAA supporting network, forming PCGs with excellent shape stability and thermally induced flexibility. The vertical orientation structure of BN@Fe3O4 endows the PCGs with an enhanced through-plane thermal conductivity of up to 1.07 W m-1 K-1 at a BN@Fe3O4 loading of 25.6 wt % with an additional enhancement of 215% compared to the composite without BN. The thermally conductive leakage-proof PCGs present great application potential in heat storage and management.

Abstract
Effective thermal management is quite urgent for electronics owing to their ever-growing integration degree, operation frequency and power density, and the main strategy of thermal management is to remove excess energy from electronics to outside by thermal conductive materials. Compared to the conventional thermal management materials, flexible thermally conductive films with high in-plane thermal conductivity, as emerging candidates, have aroused greater interest in the last decade, which show great potential in thermal management applications of next-generation devices. However, a comprehensive review of flexible thermally conductive films is rarely reported. Thus, we review recent advances of both intrinsic polymer films and polymer-based composite films with ultrahigh in-plane thermal conductivity, with deep understandings of heat transfer mechanism, processing methods to enhance thermal conductivity, optimization strategies to reduce interface thermal resistance and their potential applications. Lastly, challenges and opportunities for the future development of flexible thermally conductive films are also discussed.
