This chapter introduces main concepts and underlying physics associated with latent heat storage materials. It covers crystallisation and solidification, supercool, interfacial phenomena and surface wetting and spreading; classification of latent heat storage materials and their advantages and disadvantages; selection of latent heat storage materials; thermophysical and mechanical properties of the materials; enhancement of thermal conductivity and heat capacity; and composite phase change material optimisation.
