Cement-based materials incorporated with polyethylene glycol/sepiolite composite phase change materials: hydration, mechanical, and thermal properties
In this study, a series of polyethylene glycol (PEG)/hydrochloric acid-modified sepiolite (HSEP) composite phase change materials (PCMs) are fabricated via vacuum impregnation. HSEP exhibits high adsorption capacity, rendering it superior to natural sepiolite as carriers for PEG. The resulting composite PCMs possess a melting enthalpy of up to 88.9 J/g and maintain stable thermal performances and chemical structures over 100 heating–cooling cycles between room temperature and 65 °C, thus, indicating long-term reliability. Calorimetry studies on cement paste containing 30% composite PCMs reveal a 24.14% reduction in 3-day cumulative hydration heat. However, the mechanical strength and thermal conductivity of the cement paste are adversely affected. Hence, carbon fibers (CFs) are introduced as reinforcement, resulting in a 28-day compressive strength of 45.6 MPa for cement paste containing 20% composite PCMs and 0.6% CFs. The fabricated composite PCMs are promising functional materials for hydration heat control and energy storage in concrete structures.
