Our current research focuses on the use of paraffin wax and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites for thermal energy storage applications. In this study, paraffin wax was doped with nano additives of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNs), to forming a nanocomposite PCM.
The addition of carbon fibers with paraffin wax can enhance thermal conductivity. When the low-density carbon fiber (that has thermal conductivity equivalent to metals such as aluminum and copper) is added to the PCM, it is dispersed with the PCM . Fukai et al. proposed two techniques for thermal conductivity enhancement in paraffin.
