Description
Ilyina and co-authors embed mothball chemistry inside epoxy to make a safer fungicide that also stores heat, in a 2024 paper. Naphthalene kills fungi and melts near eighty degrees with a large heat of fusion, ideal for phase-change storage. Loose, it evaporates fast and slumps when molten.
The team mixed naphthalene into a standard epoxy with a sulfone hardener and studied the blend at every stage. Laser methods measured how the parts mix, rheology tracked flow before and during curing, and calorimetry charted the heat behavior of the cured material. Locked in resin, naphthalene keeps its talents without the fumes — a candidate coating for damp buildings and a thermal battery in one.
