| abstract |
The invention relates to alloys with inverse microstructures, to the production of such materials and to their uses in thermal storage applications. In a preferred form the invention relates to a thermal storage material comprising a dense continuous thermally conductive matrix of a first component; and particles of a second component dispersed throughout the matrix of the first component, wherein the first and second components are wholly or partly immiscible and wherein the first component melts at a higher temperature than the second component. |
