Abstract:

The present invention relates to parts shaped from a thermoplastic resin, characterized in that its matrix and/or its surface comprises at least one inorganic phase-change material and in that the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin (calculated by DSC) is 2 to 20°C higher than the melting temperature of the inorganic phase-change material.
