Conventional Refrigerant Gels versus Phase Change Materials

Phase change materials (PCMs) are chemicals chosen for the temperatures at which they transition between states of matter.  The vast majority of PCMs are chosen for use of their solid/liquid phase change temperature.  The goal is to match the phase change temperature with the product temperature requirements as the PCM will naturally maintain that temperature while melting or freezing.
