Abstract: Efficient paper drying is a significant challenge for the paper industry, prompting industry experts and researchers to seek alternative technologies. Phase change materials (PCMs) have emerged as a promising solution due to their ability to store and release heat during phase transitions from solid to liquid and vice versa. This research aims to explore the impact of PCMs on the drying process of paper, with the ultimate goal of developing more efficient and sustainable solutions for the paper and packaging industry.
