Lauric acid(LA)/expanded vermiculite (EVM) form-stable phase change materials were synthesized via vacuum impregnation method. In the composites, lauric acid was utilized as a thermal energy storage material and the expanded vermiculite behaved as the supporting material. XRD and FT-IR results demonstrate that lauric acid and expanded vermiculite in the composite do not undergo a chemical reaction and only undergo a physical combination. Microstructural analysis indicates that lauric acid is sufficiently absorbed in the expanded vermiculite porous network, while displaying negligible leakage even under the molten state. According to DSC results, the 70 wt.% LA/EVM sample melts at 41.88 degrees C with a latent heat of 126.8 J/g and solidifies at 39.89 degrees C with a latent heat of 125.6 J/g. Thermal cycling measurements show that the form-stable composite PCM has adequate stability even after being subjected to 200 melting/freezing cycles. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of the composite PCM increased by approximately 78% with the addition of 10 wt.% expanded graphite (EG). Thus, the form-stable composite PCM is a suitable option for thermal energy storage for building and solar heating system applications. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
