摘      要：Shape-stabilized phase change materials(PCMs) exhibit desirable thermal storage properties and are used for energy conservation *** study is focused on the preparation and thermal-/dynamic-mechanical properties of the bulk porous Al foams impregnated with organic PCMs such as paraffins and stearic *** results indicated that the new shape-stabilized PCMs composites could be produced by a simple and eco-friendly constant-pressure impregnation *** filling fraction of PCMs was approximately more than 80% for the impregnated samples with vacuuming or without *** shape-stabilized PCMs/Al-foam composites exhibited considerable latent thermal storage potential for good interface,desirable phase-change temperature range and latent heat values(72.9kJ/kg for the paraffin/Al-foam composite and 66.7kJ/kg for the stearic acid/Al-foam composite).Moreover,the impregnation of PCMs improved the dynamic-compression yield strength,durability and resistance to oxidation of Al foams and made its ideal energy-saving materials.
