TL;DR: In this article, a reactive phosphorus-containing compound, bis-phenoxy (3-hydroxy) phenyl phosphine oxide (BPHPPO), was first successfully synthesized to produce the phosphoruscontaining flame retardant epoxy resin (BP-EP), which was characterized from FTIR, MS, NMR spectra and elemental analyses.

TL;DR: In this article, double-walled shells of polystyrene/graphene oxide nanosheets were used to stabilize oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering emulsion templating.
Abstract: The microencapsulation of phase change materials (n-hexadecane) with double-walled shells (polystyrene/graphene oxide) was realized from Pickering emulsion templating. Graphene oxide nanosheets were modified by the polycondensate of diethanolamine and adipic acid, which can well stabilize oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering emulsions. The morphology of the double-walled shell of polymer microspheres was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal and barrier properties of microcapsules were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and the flammability test. DSC results indicate that the encapsulation ratio of n-hexadecane is as high as 78%. The encapsulated phase change material has good thermal stability, owing to the existence of graphene oxide on the surface protecting the core material from leakage and evaporation. This double-walled microencapsulation of phase change materials may have potential applications in energy storage and energy saving.

TL;DR: In this article, shape-stabilized lauric acid/activated carbon composites as phase change materials were prepared by adsorbing liquid laurric acid into activated carbon, and the thermal properties and thermal stability were investigated by a differential scanning calorimeter and a thermogravimetry analyzer.

TL;DR: In this paper, a facile microwave-assisted method was developed to fabricate cellulose-silver nanocomposites by reducing silver nitrate in ethylene glycol (EG), which acts as a solvent, a reducing reagent, and a microwave absorber in the whole system, thus no additional reductant is needed.
