Abstract

Dispersion of conducting polymer-based nanocomposite in Phase Change Materials (PCMs) tends to enhance the thermophysical properties. Present work aims to synthesize and disperse conducting polyaniline@cobalt nanocomposite within the Paraffin matrix to improve the thermo-physical property. Polyaniline based nanocomposites with 1.0 and 2.0 wt% cobalt (PC1 and PC2) were sonicated with paraffin at different weight ratio of 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, and 5% and characterization of nanocomposite dispersed phase change material was performed. Thermo-physical properties were analysed by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Thermal conductivity of nanocomposite enhanced paraffin increased with increase in weight% of both PC1 and PC2 till 1% of its weight in paraffin and decreased for 5% of PC1 and PC2 concentration with paraffin. TGA readings observed drop in initial decomposition temperature of PPC1-5% (Paraffin with PC1 in 5% concentration) and PPC2-5% (Paraffin with PC2 in 5% concentration) by an amount of 08% and 12.4% respectively compared with base PCM Paraffin wax. DSC results of PPC1-0.1% and PPC2-0.5% showed 182.04 J/g and 170.86 J/g latent heat of fusion as compared to Paraffin wax. The samples were tested for 200 thermal cycles and the chemical stability and thermal property were compared with the fresh samples.
