A method of forming a composite insulation material, comprising:
- mixing together a plurality of particles and a precursor of a foam insulation matrix, wherein the particles have an average diameter of between 0.1 and 200 microns and comprise a thermally-cyclable phase change material capable of undergoing a reversible phase change;
- and
- allowing the precursor to foam and cure to form a composite insulation material comprising the plurality of particles distributed in a foam insulation matrix.
