Polyimide foam composites with nano-boron nitride (BN) and silicon carbide (SiC) for latent heat storage

Marialaura Clausi et al.

Summary: In this study, paper-like flexible composite phase change materials (PCMs) were developed by hydraulic compression of polyimide foam with PCM film between an aluminum foil and a ceramic composite Parafilm (R). The thermal performance was optimized by adding nano-BN and micro-SiC particles into the Parafilm (R). The results showed that monoliths containing 30 wt% micro-SiC exhibited the best thermal performance, followed by the 60 wt% nano-BN composite. The compression process led to the irreversible collapse of the foam's cellular structure, but the high-k fillers improved impregnation and ensured excellent shape stability and leakage prevention.
