Preparation and Property Modification on Novel Energy Storage Material: n-Octadecane PCMs/Expanded Perlite Composite Gypsum Board

Phase change materials (PCMs) have been widely used to improve the thermal energy storage capacity of building materials. In this study, the n-octadecane (OD)/expanded perlite (EP) composite PCM, which was prepared by incorporation of liquid n-octadecane into EP using the vacuum impregnation method,...
