Innovative Polymeric Materials for Thermal Energy Storage
30th century has witnessed a rapid increase in the scale of industrialization all over the world. This has led to a significant increase in the number of commercial buildings for industrial purposes. According to a recent scientific research, these commercial buildings account for almost 41% of the world’s energy consumption, which constitutes 30% of the annual greenhouse gas emissions. It is expected that the energy demand in the building sector will rise by about 50% in 2050, and the space cooling demand will triple between 2010 and 2050 [1]. Hence, there is an urgent need to decrease the... Read more
