Barocaloric effects in barium-dicalcium propionate salts
… serve as environmentally friendly solid-state barocaloric cooling materials. In this thesis, I synthesised barium dicalcium propionate and barium dicalcium butyrate and investigated their refrigerant properties. Using differential scanning calorimetry, I found the thermally driven entropy …

Electrocaloric and barocaloric effects in organic materials
Electrocaloric (EC) and barocaloric (BC) materials undergo reversible thermal changes in response to changes in applied electric field and pressure, respectively. These materials could potentially be exploited in novel solid-state cooling systems that may replace current vapour-compression systems, …

Exploring new materials for caloric cooling
… currently used in vapour compression systems. Barocaloric materials that are driven by changes in hydrostatic pressure are comparatively the most promising type of caloric material, as they display the largest thermal changes, are practically more cost-effective, and can withstand large cyclic …

Caloric effects in ferroic materials
… active. The third study focused on barocaloric effects in fluorinated ferroelectric poly- mers of polyvinylidene fluoride – co – trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE) with different compositions. P(VDF-TrFE) polymers have been previously investigated for elec- trocalorics effects driven by …
