Materiały zmiennofazowe (Phase Change Materials, PCM) są materiałami zdolnymi do magazynowania i oddawania energii cieplnej w wyniku odwracalnej przemiany fazowej zachodzącej w określonym zakresie temperatury. Wykorzystanie ciepła utajonego umożliwia magazynowanie znacznych ilości energii bez konieczności istotnego zwiększania temperatury materiału. Z tego względu PCM są przedmiotem wielu badań, dotyczących zwiększenia efektywności energetycznej budynków oraz poprawy możliwości magazynowania energii cieplnej [1]. Szczególnie interesującym obszarem zastosowania PCM są materiały cementowe, w tym zaprawy i betony. Wynika to z ich powszechnego wykorzystania w budownictwie oraz możliwości połączenia funkcji użytkowej lub konstrukcyjnej z funkcją magazynowania energii cieplnej.
