Nano-Enhanced PCM Manufacturing with Montmorillonite: Banbury Mixer Process for Building Applications – Shape Stability in Focus
Publication Highlights
- Scalable Banbury mixer can be used to develop a new SS-NEPCM with a rubber matrix.
- The synergies between EPDM, PA and MMT is corroborated during their mixture.
- TGA, DSC and XRD results elucidate that the new SS-NEPCM is able to store TES
- The MMT content greatly increased LOI value and PA decreased LOI down to 16.5 vol%.
- MMT should be considered as a reinforcement when preparing rubber-based SS-NEPCM.
