Calorimetric and dynamic mechanical behavior of phase change materials based on paraffin wax supported by expanded graphite
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This study addressed the characterization and description of calorimetric and dynamic mechanical properties of phase change materials (PCMs) based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), paraffin wax (W) and expanded ...
Phase change materials designed from Tetra Pak waste and paraffin wax as unique thermal energy storage systems
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Thermal energy storage systems (TES) based on shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCM) designed from recycled Tetra Pak (TP) waste, paraffin wax (PW), and expanded graphite (EG) were investigated in this study. This ...
A novel alternative to free oil remediation and recovery: Foamy absorbents designed from low molecular paraffinic waste
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This study focuses on preparing porous, hydrophobic, and oleophilic hydrocarbon-based foams applicable for removing free oils from water surfaces. Paraffinic waste material generated during industrial production of low-density ...
Thermally conductive polyethylene/expanded graphite composites as heat transfer surface: Mechanical, thermo-physical and surface behavior
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Composites of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and expanded graphite (EG) are prepared for heat exchangers in multi-effect distillation (MED) desalination. At 50 wt.% EG loading, the thermal conductivity of HDPE was increased ...
Foamed phase change materials based on recycled polyethylene/paraffin wax blends
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Foamed phase-change materials (FPCMs) were prepared using recycled linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blended with 30 wt.% of paraffin wax (PW) and foamed by 1,1′-azobiscarbamide. The protection of pores’ collapse ...
