Abstract:Phase‐change microcapsules, consisting of urea‐melamine‐formaldehyde as the shell material and n‐tetradecane as the core material, offer effective temperature regulation within concrete under low‐temperature conditions, mitigating the impact of freeze–thaw cycles. However, their incorporation can exert a notable influence on concrete strength. In this study, microcapsules were utilized as an admixture, and nano‐silicon dioxide replaced an equivalent amount of cement to prepare modified phase‐change concrete, f… Show more
