In order to improve the thermal properties of PCMs (phase change materials), in this study, a new series of NEPCMs (nanoencapsulated phase change materials) were synthesized using a sol-gel method with SA (stearic acid) as the core and TiO2 (titania) as the shell material. The effects of the weight...
