- Additional information
- For the first time, a thermo-mechanical model which agrees well with the experimental observations for microencapsulated phase change materials for cryogenic-temperature cold storage was established. The model and the formulation engineering approach used to prevent buckling also have applications in other fields such as drug delivery systems where drug in the form of microcapsules should withstand many freeze thaw cycles. The study was supported by EPSRC (EP/N000714/1).
