Cement mortar, a fundamental material in construction, requires advancements to enhance its energy efficiency. Phase change materials (PCMs) offer promise in this regard due to their high thermal energy storage capacity. However, challenges persist in integrating PCMs into cement-based materials. Microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) present a solution to these challenges. This study evaluates the impact of MPCMs on the properties of cement mortar with various grades (cement-to-sand ratio of 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4), including mechanical, physical, and thermal characteristics. Through regression analysis, predictive equations are derived to estimate key properties based on the cement-to-sand ratio and MPCM content.

摘要

Cement mortar, a fundamental material in construction, requires advancements to enhance its energy efficiency. Phase change materials (PCMs) offer promise in this regard due to their high thermal energy storage capacity. However, challenges persist in integrating PCMs into cement-based materials. Microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) present a solution to these challenges. This study evaluates the impact of MPCMs on the properties of cement mortar with various grades (cement-to-sand ratio of 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4), including mechanical, physical, and thermal characteristics. Through regression analysis, predictive equations are derived to estimate key properties based on the cement-to-sand ratio and MPCM content.
