3. Description of the project
Project "Development of bituminous products formulated with solid-solid phase
change materials for improving the building energy efficiency" (SSbuildENERGY),
PID2023-149701OA-I00, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 (Spanish Ministry
of Science,Innovation and Universities) and ERDF "A way of making Europe" under
the 2023 Knowledge Generation projects call. This project is led from the
University of Huelva and developed at Center for Research in Chemical Products
and Process Technology (Pro2TecS). The general objective of this project is to
study the formulation and processing of novel energy-efficient building
materials with enhanced rheological and thermal energy storage characteristics
formulated with solid-solid phase change materials.
4. Description of the dataset
The main objective of this work is to develop novel energy-efficient roofing
materials for building applications by phase change material direct inclusión.
These materials are formulated with bitumen (B), styrene butadiene styrene
copolymer (SBS) and beeswax (BW) as bio-based phase change material. Results
revealed that form-stable materials (with no BW leakage) can be manufactured
with a maximum BW concentration of 30 wt%. The selected roofing material display
excellent thermal storage capacity for a long period of time.

METHODOLOGY
--------------------------
1. Methodology
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) tests were conducted in a TA Q- 50 (TA
Instruments, USA).Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was performed with a
Q- 250 DSC (TA Instruments, USA). The crystalline structure of beeswax and
bituminous binders were analysed using a D8 Advance X-ray diffractometer
(Bruker-AXS, Germany) at room temperature (25◦C). Viscous flow measurements were
performed in a controlled-strain ARES rheometer (Rheometric Scientific, USA)
using a smooth plate-and-plate geometry (25 mm diameter and 2 mm gap). The
thermal conductivity, at different temperatures, was measured using the
non-destructive Transient Hot-Bridge (THB) technique by a THB 100 device from
Linseis GmbH (Germany).
