Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure relates to a composition that includes a poly(hydroxy)urethane (PHU) foam, a phase change material (PCM), and a solid additive, where the PHU foam includes a plurality of voids, at least a portion of the voids contain the PCM and the solid additive, and the composition is capable of being repeatedly cycled through a temperature range, resulting in the PCM cycling between a solid phase and a liquid phase. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the PCM may include at least one of a hydrated salt, a paraffin wax, a sugar alcohol, a fatty acid, and/or a eutectic mixture.
