A novel poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile)-graft-polyethylene glycol (SAN-g-PEG) copolymer was synthesized as new solid-solid phase change materials (SSPCMs) by grafting PEG to the main chain of poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile). The chemical structure of the SAN-g-PEG was confirmed by the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectroscopy techniques. The thermal energy storage properties and the storage durability of the SAN-g-PEG were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The SAN-g-PEG was endowed with the solid- solid phase transition temperatures within the range of 23-36 ℃ and the latent heat enthalpy ranged from 66.8 kJ/kg to 68.3 kJ/kg. Thermal cycling tests revealed that the SAN-g-PEG kept great heat storage durability after 1000 thermal cycles. The thermal stabilitywas evaluated by a thermal gravity analysis (TGA), and the initial decomposition temperature (T_d) of SAN-g-PEG is 350 ℃, which proves that the SAN-g-PEG possessed good thermal stability.
