Application of nanomaterials for upgrade of phase change materials: Preparation and thermal properties

This paper provides a review regarding latest and present research findings related to the application of the nanomaterials for enhancement of the general properties of the phase change materials (PCM). One of the critical issues with PCM, beside relative high initial cost, is its efficient thermal management. Present research studies have been examined in detail where special focus of the review was related to the preparation, i.e. process of mixing PCM with nanoparticles creating nanocomposites, i.e. nanofluids, which is especially demanding for considered case. Finally, study provided summarized and detail data regarding the reported improvement of the general PCM properties. Critical issues related to the general application of the nanocomposites and nanofluids have been also addressed and stressed out based on the conducted comprehensive review.
