Özet
This study addresses the rising demand for sustainable construction by introducing composite materials from natural and renewable resources: gypsum, hemp, and phase change materials (PCMs). These materials cater to the growing preference for eco-friendly building solutions. Incorporating hemp enhances sustainability while integrating PCMs into the porous hemp structure ensures adequate thermal energy storage and release without leakage. Firstly, the agricultural waste hemp shives and lauryl alcohol (LA) PCM were mixed to create shapestabilized hemp/PCM composites. The highest PCM ratio was determined in shape-stabilized composites exhibiting non-leakage properties, which was 45 wt %. These composites were then incorporated into gypsum materials at loadings of 7.5 %, 15 %, 22.5 %, and 35 wt % to produce the final composites. Morphological, thermal, and chemical characteristics of shape-stabilized composites were examined using SEM, TGA, and DSC, while the solar thermoregulation tests assessed the gypsum matrix composites. The phase change temperature of PCM was determined as 20.24 degrees C with a melting enthalpy value of 224.4 J/g. The hemp/PCM shape-stabilized composites demonstrated an impressive melting enthalpy value of 100.2 J/g, with only a slight reduction to 99.5 J/g after 750 test cycles. When the ambient temperature exceeded 50 degrees C, the central temperature of the cabins containing PCM composites was found to be at least 4 degrees C cooler than those containing only gypsum. Conversely, when the ambient temperature dropped to around 20 degrees C, it was observed that the central temperature of the cabins with PCM composites was approximately 2 degrees C warmer than those with only gypsum. This study introduces a novel approach to creating environmentally friendly gypsum/hemp/PCM composites for thermal energy storage systems.
