The starch grafted acrylic super absorbent resin was used as a basic material of refrigerant in insulating packaging. The influence of the amount of initiator on water absorption ability of starch grafted acrylic super absorbent resin was investigated. When the amount of initiator is 4 percent of the starch, the resin's water absorption that is 230g/g displays the best. By adding NaCl solution, the phase change temperature of refrigerant can be conditioned. The experimental results show that the phase change temperature and the latent heat of refrigerant decrease as the NaCl solution concentration increases. The starch grafted acrylic super absorbent resin and the NaCl solution with the concentration of 0~5 percent as refrigerant can be used to transport the products whose required temperatures is between -4 and 0°C. The starch grafted acrylic super absorbent resin can replace the ordinary high polymer materials, playing the role of being easily biodegradable and friendly to environment.

This study aims to find out cooling characteristics of TMA 25wt%-water clathrate compound with ethanol such as supercooling, phase change temperature and specific heat. For this purpose, ethanol is added as per weight concentration and cooling experiment is performed at -6, -7 and -8, cooling heat source temperature, and it leads the following result. (1) Phase change temperature is decreased due to freezing point depression phenomenon. Especially, it is minimized as 5.1 and 5.0, 3.8 according to cooling source temperature in case that 0.5wt% of ethanol is added. (2) If 0.5wt% of ethanol is added, average supercooling degree is 0.9 and minimum supercooling is 0.8, 0.7 according to cooling heat source temperature. The restraint effect of supercooling is shown. (3) Specific heat shows tendency to decrease if ethanol is added. It is 3.013~3.048 kJ/kgK according to cooling heat source temperature if 0.5wt% of ethanol is added. Phase change temperature higher than that of water and inhibitory effect against supercooling can be confirmed through experimental study on cooling characteristics of TMA 25wt%-water clathrate compound by adding additive, ethanol.

Shape-stabilized phase change material (PCM) composed of polyethylene glycol and silica hollow nanospheres was prepared by a vacuum impregnating method. Thermal properties of the composite PCM were investigated by various techniques. Lower phase change temperature and enthalpy of the composite PCM were observed. It is concluded that the phase change properties of the composite PCM are influenced by the adsorption confinement of the PEG segments from the porous structure of the silica hollow nanospheres.
