Abstract
Arrangements and methods for thermostatic packaging are provided herein. In some embodiments, in response to a change in temperature, an endothermic or exothermic reaction can be initiated to counteract the change in temperature.
Claims26
A cooling system comprising:
- a first reactant;
- a second reactant, wherein the first reactant can endothermically react with the second reactant to absorb heat;
- and
- a temperature-responsive divider positioned between at least some of the first reactant and at least some of the second reactant,
- wherein at a first temperature, the temperature-responsive divider is impermeable to the first reactant, the second reactant, or the first reactant and the second reactant, and
- wherein at a second temperature, the temperature-responsive divider is permeable to the first reactant, the second reactant, or the first reactant and the second reactant.
3 more elements
A method of regulating a temperature, the method comprising:
- providing a cooling system comprising:
- a first reactant;
- a second reactant, wherein the first reactant can react endothermically with the second reactant;
- and
- a temperature-responsive divider positioned between at least a part of the first reactant from at least a part of the second reactant;
- and
- changing a first conformation of the temperature-responsive divider to a second conformation of the temperature-responsive divider upon an increase in temperature, wherein the second conformation permits the first reactant, the second reactant, or the first and the second reactant to pass through the temperature-responsive divider such that an endothermic reaction occurs.
