Abstract

The project objective is to develop and study functional incorporation of phase change
materials into wood fibers, charcoal, veneer and solid wood aiming at increasing heat storage
and conduction while retaining strength, thermal insulation properties and improving
durability and sound insulation properties of the initial material.Specific aim of the project is
to use wood micro/macro structure (i.e. wood cell wall and lumen) as low-cost porous
structures (storage cell) for encapsulation of renewable phase-change materials (PCM) of
biological origin for eventual use in green building products for energy saving.
