Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) offer great potential for realizing zero-energy thermal management due to superior cold storage and stable phase change temperatures. However, the widespread use of PCMs is consistently impeded by issues such as liquid leakage and solid rigidity. Here, we present a simple yet effective strategy for developing highly flexible polymer-based phase change materials. Our approach involves creating a dual three-dimensional (3D) cross-linked network of acrylamide (AM) and sodium alginate (SA) within a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrix. The synergy between H-bonds and AM-SA networks significantly enhances the mechanical strength, thermal stability, and leakage resistance of PVA@AM-SA. Our research offers a promising approach to designing phase change materials with both high latent heat capacity and exceptional mechanical strength, making them ideal for use in wearable thermal management applications.
期刊介绍：
ACS Applied Polymer Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology relevant to applications of polymers.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates fundamental knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, polymer science and chemistry into important polymer applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses relationships among structure, processing, morphology, chemistry, properties, and function as well as work that provide insights into mechanisms critical to the performance of the polymer for applications.
