Material Analysis • Vaporization in their liquid state; • Unstable without encapsulation;

Material Analysis • Mannitol and HDPE seemed stable in molten state; • Adipic Acid seemed suitable, but thermal stage indicated also full vaporization in molten state;

Material Analysis • DSC analysis obtained values below the literature review; • Adipic Acid proved thermal stability only in hermetic container;

Material Analysis • Phthalic anhydride and 2-Chlorobenzoic acid proved relative stability in closed container; • Maleic acid is unsuitable for latent heat thermal storage;

Material Analysis • Excellent thermal stability; • Very hygroscopic;

Material Analysis • LiNO3/KCl eutectic mixture has shown great storage densities; • NaNO2 mixtures were non-hygroscopic;
