Reports Summarize Phase Change Materials Findings from Harbin Medical University (Encapsulation and Functionalization Strategies of Organic Phase Change Materials In Medical Applications).

A report from Harbin Medical University in China discusses the use of organic phase change materials (PCMs) in medical applications. The researchers highlight the advantages of PCMs, such as large heat storage and accurate temperature control, but also note the need to encapsulate PCMs to improve their stability and biocompatibility. The report summarizes various encapsulation strategies, including core-shell encapsulation and physical adsorption, and discusses the potential applications of PCMs in the medical field, such as medical textiles, drug delivery, and cold chain transportation of pharmaceutical preparations. The research provides insights into the encapsulation and functionalization strategies of organic PCMs and their potential medical applications. [Extracted from the article]
