Additive manufactured thermoplastic elastomers for low-stress driven elastocaloric cooling

Kun Wang et al.

Summary: Elastocaloric cooling, which exploits the strain-induced crystallization of soft elastomeric polymers, has been investigated as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional refrigeration. In this study, the elastocaloric properties and cooling performance of five thermoplastic elastomers that can be 3D printed were explored. The materials were characterized as filaments to identify those with the highest elastocaloric effects, and additive manufacturing (AM) parameters were optimized to achieve functional stability while maintaining the elastocaloric effect. The results show the potential for using AM elastocaloric elastomers in the development of regenerative cooling components.

High-performance polymer-based regenerative elastocaloric cooler

Gael Sebald et al.

Summary: Experimental elastocaloric polymer coolers using natural rubber tubes were developed with two different geometries. The suitable geometry compensated for the low thermal conductivity and achieved performances comparable to other caloric devices. One of the prototypes exhibited a maximum temperature span > 8K, a maximum COP of 6, and an output cooling power of 1.5W, outperforming other prototypes based on polymers or ceramics. This breakthrough enables the realization of realistic elastocaloric polymer coolers on a larger scale.

Peijia Bai et al.

Summary: A highly efficient pixel-matrix electrocaloric (EC) cooling device is reported which can effectively address the issue of localized overheating in microelectronics. Each active pixel in the EC cooling device can be independently controlled to cool down the overheating site(s) in situ. This device offers advantages such as no additional energy consumption, compact size, embeddability, and low cost, making it a promising solution for localized overheating protection.

A strain energy function for large deformations of compressible elastomers

Matteo Pelliciari et al.

Summary: Elastomers can undergo significant volume changes under large deformations, which the current static hyperelastic models fail to accurately describe. A new volumetric strain energy density (SED) model is proposed to provide accurate descriptions of rubber's response under both small and large volumetric deformations and adapt to other compressible materials. By combining the volumetric SED with a suitable deviatoric part selected from the literature, the model is calibrated by fitting experimental data from simple tension and bulk tests, providing an accurate description of elastomers' response to both shape and volume deformations, enabling capturing of the effects of volumetric deformations on equilibrium solutions for various stress states in numerical codes.

Summary: This study demonstrates that polymer elastomers with uniform molecular chain-lengths exhibit enormous elastocaloric effects through reversible conformational changes. A rotary-motion cooling device is tailored to high-strains characteristics of rubbers, which effectively discharges the cooling energy of polymer elastomers. This work provides a strategy for enhancing elastocaloric effects and promoting the commercialization of solid-state cooling devices based on polymer elastomers.
