Research abstract
THIS PROJECT WILL INVESTIGATE POLYMERIC COMPOSITION THAT IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR LOW TEMPERATURE (-50 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT TO -150 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT) APPLICATIONS OF ALL KINDS. THE NEW MATERIAL PROMISES TO BE CAPABLE OF REVERSIBLY STORING SIGNIFICANT QUANTITIES OF THERMAL ENERGY USING ONLY SOLID-SOLID PHASE TRANSITION. IT WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE TO ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE OF THE PHASE TRANSITIONS,AS WELL AS THE THERMAL STORAGE CAPACITY. THE NOVEL COMPOSITION WILL BE CHEMICALLY INERT AND EXTREMELY STABLE TO THERMAL STRESSES OF ALL KINDS.
