Experimental research on the use of micro-encapsulated Phase Change Materials to store solar energy in concrete floors and to save energy in Dutch houses (2011, background): “Bentz and Turpin (2007) specified potential applications of PCMs in concrete by analysing the calorimetry of PCMs embedded in porous light-weight aggregates.”
Early-Age Properties of Cement-Based Materials: I. Influence of Cement Fineness (2008, methodology): “indication of variability, two specimens were evaluated for each cement paste, 2) Semi-adiabatic calorimetry – the semi-adiabatic temperature rise was measured during the course of 3 d on single cement paste specimens with a mass of approximately 330 g using a custom-built semi-adiabatic calorimeter”
Paraffin/expanded vermiculite composite phase change material as aggregate for developing lightweight thermal energy storage cement-based composites (2015, methodology): “Over the past few decades, normal thermal energy storage cement-based composites with bulk densities higher than 2000 kg/m have already been widely reported and used in practice [23–25].”
On the feasibility of using phase change materials (PCMs) to mitigate thermal cracking in cementitious materials (2014, background): “Special emphasis is placed on understanding if PCMs can mitigate the driving forces of thermal cracking, and thus serve as a new treatment for distress of this nature in cementitious materials [9,28–31].”
The behavior of self-compacting concrete containing micro-encapsulated Phase Change Materials (2009, background): “Therefore, in contrast to [3], the ultimate heat of hydration after exactly 1 day was used for the subsequent calculations.”
Multifunctional smart concretes with novel phase change materials: Mechanical and thermo-energy investigation (2018, background): “Given its high potential in terms of increased melting heat, and in spite of the difficult material selection process, the use of latent heat storage materials such as PCMs has been thoroughly investigated by the scientific community [22]-[26].”
