Phase change materials

Phase change materials have excellent thermal energy storage capacity, making them an appealing option for energy management applications. Stabilizing the form of phase change materials enhances their practical effectiveness. This research focuses on sustaining the shape of low molecular weight PEG phase change materials in wood structures made from natural balsa wood.

In international pistol shooting competition the performance improvement needed to be able to move into a medal winning position in a final from fourth position is 1.5 points (Bedford et al., 2012). It may be expected therefore, that by providing a method of reducing tremor resulting in a corresponding performance improvement. This research consists of two studies investigating the physiological response and the shooting performance of elite pistol shooters.
