Disclosed herein are embodiments of a composition that can be used to make liquid crystalline networks using thiol-ene-based polymerization. In particular embodiments, the liquid crystalline networks can be formed by using the composition embodiments in additive manufacturing methods. The composition comprises a monomer, chain extender compound, and a crosslinker compound and each of these components can be selected so as to influence the thermomechanical and shape memory properties of the liquid crystalline networks and/or objects formed therewith.

Composition for thiol-ene-based polymerization and liquid crystalline network-containing objects formed therefrom using additive manufacturing

A phase change material composition for latent heat storage is provided. In one embodiment, the phase change material includes a salt hydrate having a melting temperature (T) of from 1&#xb0; C. to 100&#xb0; C. as determined in accordance with ASTM E793. The phase change material further includes a stabilizing matrix including a polysaccharide selected from the group of a nanocellulose, a sulfonated polysaccharide, a starch, a glycogen, a chitin, and combinations thereof. A composite article including the phase change material composition is also provided.
