and their corresponding polymers PMbiCm were synthesized
via
free radical solution polymerization. The phase transition temperature and thermal stability of the polymers were studied by DSC and TG. Experimental results revealed that all the polymers were liquid crystal and exhibited high clear points. The clear point of the polymers was first decreased and then increased with increasing the alkoxy chain length. All the polymers showed excellent thermal stability
and their decomposition temperatures were all above 310 ºC. The novel P6biC
m
/paraffin composite
form-stable phase change materials (FSPCM)
was prepared by introducing PMbiC
m
into paraffin. The minimum gelation concentration (MGC) and gel-to-sol transition temperature (TGS) were tested by tube-testing method. It was found that the gelation stability of PMbiCm was closely linked with alkoxy chain length. PMbiC

and not able to form gel in paraffin. PMbiC

while PMbiC

m
/paraffin were of high phase transition enthalpy
excellent thermal stability and high gel strength. The structure and morphology of the FSPCMs were also investigated by FTIR
POM and SEM. The results revealed that paraffin was restricted because the gelators PMbiC
m
could self-assemble into three-dimensional netted structures
leading to the formation of shape-stable PCMs without leakage even above their melting point of the phase change materials.
