Abstract
Temperature control is a very suitable application because there you can take advantage of the high capacity of PCMs in a small temperature range. In the case of transport boxes, PCM modules to keep the internal temperature constant within a few degrees for a long time have already penetrated the market. Further applications that are currently under development or in a first stage of market introduction are textiles and clothes, electronic equipment, medical applications, cooling of newborns, catering and even a laptop that includes PCM!
