Mechanical and Thermal Performance of Macro-Encapsulated Phase Change Materials for Pavement Application

Mechanical and Thermal Performance of Macro-Encapsulated Phase Change Materials for Pavement Application

Macro-encapsulated phase change material (PCM) lightweight aggregates (ME-LWA) were produced and evaluated for their mechanical and thermal properties in road engineering applications. The ME-LWAs were first characterised in terms of their physical and geometrical properties. Then, the ME-LWAs were...
