1. Summary
The name of the project was “Synthesis and thermal characterization of paraffin-based nanocomposites for thermal energy storage applications”. We submitted a manuscript to a journal based on the findings of this project. One of the reviewers wanted to see the dispersion stability results of nanocomposites using DLS method or zeta potential. Therefore, we have performed this experiment by using Malvern Nano Zs.

2. Experimental
We have checked the dispersion stability of our nanocomposites by DLS method using Malvern Nano Zs.

3. Results and Discussion
The result is presented in Figure 1, which supports the stability of nanoparticles in the composites.
