英文摘要：

Phase change composites are the normal mixed systems or low eutectic systems which are composed of binary mixture or multicomponent mixture whose characters are in similar conditions, and the materials which are distinct by the phase change between solid and liquid, and the ones which are the distinct by such change between inorganic and organic composite . By virtue of their distinguish functions, the composites phase change materials have been a highpoint of the relevant new material researches. In this paper, several kinds of meth- ods, such as sol-gel process, eutectic process, porous medium process, microcapsules process, and macromole- cule process, which are able to bring out those phase change composites are introduced, and the characters of those methods are reviewed generally. In the end of this paper, the authors give an outlook for the promising future of the phase change composites.
