Shape-stabilized phase change materials (SS-PCM) are promising given their potential to control leakage of liquid PCM. However, SS-PCM still has low thermal conductivity and high flammability, which important properties for several applications, such as the indoor comfort in buildings. In this study, two new polymeric were developed optimized by use different additives. Both high-density polyet...

Polypropylene (PP) has poor adhesion to metals and other surfaces for its chemical structure. Hence, chemical modification of PP is necessary for metal surface coating application. In this research, grafting of maleic anhydride (MA) onto co(propylene-b-ethylene) in the presence of a dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was accomplished in a single screw extruder. Characteristics of the modified polymer were ...
