In this study, the thermal conductivity of alkanes was altered, by using inverse micellar templating and nanofibers. The main goal of this study was to create alkanes with tunable thermal conductivities, for their use as phase change materials in heat management. The thermal conductivity of an n-hexadecane product with inverse micelles of different volume fractions was analyzed. The tunable thermal conductivity of the micelle templated alkaline was determined to be ...
