Abstract
With the global warming, phase change materials are being expected to be applied in asphalt pavement to help lower its surface temperature. In this study, a kind of composite phase change material was prepared and its technique parameters were optimized through theoretical analysis and experimental study. A solid-liquid phase change material, with melt point of 43°C and phase transition heat of 161.6J/g, was used as core. The organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT) was used as a carrier and can prevent leakage of the melted phase change materials. The results showed that the ratio of OMMT to lauric acid was 2.6:1, and the melting temperature and time were 74°Cand 1.5hours, respectively. The composite phase change material prepared in this study had the phase transition latent heat of 36.168J/g and the transition temperature of 40.094°C. And the experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical analysis.
