About me

I completed my doctorate on phase change materials and their applications. Phase change materials absorb heat from their surroundings as they melt upon reaching their melting temperature. However, these products tend to leak and spread from the surface or area they are applied to when they become liquid at their melting points. This directly affects their heating and cooling performance. To overcome this problem, in my doctoral thesis, I achieved the microencapsulation of phase change materials through emulsion polymerization. This process successfully prevented the leakage issue in microencapsulated products. Additionally, I analyzed the chemical structure and thermal behaviors of phase change and microencapsulated phase change materials using techniques like FT-IR, XRD, SEM, DSC, and TGA. Apart from these, I led a Eurostars project focusing on the application of phase change materials in buildings. Now, I am continuing my work on phase change materials in batteries. I am analyzing the thermal changes of different phase change materials developed by us on batteries using Comsol, and comparing these analyses with test results.
