Multifunctional Phase Change Materials 1st Edition

Multifunctional Phase Change Materials, 1st Edition by Kinga Pielichowska and Krzysztof Pielichowski is an essential resource for scientists, engineers, and industry leaders seeking practical solutions for modern thermal management and energy storage challenges. This clear, authoritative volume captures cutting-edge research and real-world applications of phase change materials (PCMs) across buildings, electronics, textiles, and renewable-energy systems.

Begin with a compelling overview of PCM fundamentals—thermophysical properties, synthesis methods, and characterization techniques—then move into applied chapters that showcase multifunctional designs: composite PCMs, encapsulation strategies, thermochromic and shape‑memory integrations, and hybrid systems for heat recovery and temperature regulation. Emphasis on scalability, durability, safety, and lifecycle performance makes this book especially useful for product developers and policy-makers working in Europe, North America, Asia, and other global markets.

Practical case studies and technology roadmaps translate laboratory advances into commercial pathways, highlighting opportunities in sustainable construction, cold-chain logistics, wearable climate control, and battery thermal management. The authors balance rigorous analysis with accessible explanations, making the book suitable for graduate students, R&D teams, and decision-makers who need actionable insight.

If you’re looking to stay at the forefront of thermal materials innovation, this volume delivers the scientific depth and application-focused guidance to design, evaluate, and implement PCM-based systems that meet real-world demands.
