In this study, the thermal conductivity of form-stable phase change materials (PCMs) is improved by the addition of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). In the first step, the dispersed GNPs were mixed with palmitic acid (PA) particles using an ultra-sonication method. Then, the prepared material was adde...
