I am presently researching on PCMs. I wonder if there is a network or a platform for people researching on energy storage/PCMs or on similar fields.
Thank you
Regards
Dear Umesh
there is the Joint Centre for Energy Storage Research
http://www.jcesr.org
but I think the groups work is beyond PCM only.
One can join the group to receive emails updates etc.

In the UK there is the Energy Storage Research Network (http://www.esrn.co.uk) which covers PCM as well. I myself are interested in the design of thermal energy storage systems but not so much in the chemistry itself.
Dear Umesh,
in Germany, there is a Quality Association:
http://www.pcm-ral.de/en.html
Several companies that develop and sell PCM or related products are members of this association.
In addition, the Quality Association provides testing specification for the characterisation of PCM (e.g. determination of storage capacity via calorimetry / thermal cycling stability / measurement of heat conductivity).
Please contact me if you have further questions concerning the work of the Quality Association.
There is a conference on thermal energy storage coming up where there usually are discussions on PCMs: http://greenstock2015.csp.escience.cn/dct/page/1
Ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate all your efforts to come up with valuable information. Those were really useful.
Yes, Pluss® is working on this technology. They are into research and manufacturing of PCM materials for specific purposes.
