Abstract EN
Thermal stabilization exploiting phase change materials (PCMs) is studied theoretically and numerically.
Using the heat source approach in numerical simulations, we focus on phase change temperature as a key factor in improving thermal stabilization.
Our focus is to analyze possible mechanisms to tune the phase change temperature.
We use thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs) as PCMs in a demonstrative system.
Using the Landau-de Gennes mesoscopic approach, we show that an external electric field or appropriate nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed in LCs can be exploited to manipulate the phase change temperature.
