Abstract
In one aspect, composite construction materials are described herein. In some embodiments, a composite construction panel comprises a substrate layer, a cover layer separated from the substrate layer by one or more spacers, and at least one mat disposed between the substrate layer and the cover layer, wherein the mat comprises at least one phase change material disposed in at least one phase change region.
Claims15
A method of making a composite construction panel, the method comprising:
- adhering a first mat to a top surface of a substrate layer, the first mat comprising at least one first phase change material disposed in at least one first phase change region;
- adhering one or more first spacers to the top surface of the substrate layer;
- and
- adhering a cover to the one or more first spacers,
- wherein the first mat and the one or more first spacers are separate components;
- wherein the cover is separated from the substrate layer by at least the one or more first spacers;
- disposing a second mat between the first mat and the cover, the second mat comprising at least one second phase change material disposed in at least one second phase change region;
- disposing one or more second spacers between the second mat and the cover;
- the first mat and the second mat are vertically separated from one another in a stacked configuration by the one or more second spacers;
- and
- wherein the first and second phase change materials are differing phase change materials.
