This article focuses on the preparation and testing of gypsum mortar consisting of gypsum, phase change material and polymer. The idea was to replace the proven method of adding microencapsulated phase change material by direct binding. The study includes thermal conductivity tests using the hot wire method, temperature change tests during plaster hardening, and compressive strength tests on different samples with varying polymer content.
Currently, there is much discussion about modern technologies and solutions in construction. There are new solutions that save electricity or heat, usually in buildings additionally equipped with intelligent management systems. High hopes are placed on building materials. Every investment begins with them. The basic building materials include materials such as cement, bricks, hollow bricks or plasterboard, and their modification and the use of admixtures ensure the greatest changes in the parameters of the building. This article focuses on the preparation and testing of gypsum mortar consisting of gypsum, phase change material and polymer. The idea was to replace the proven method of adding microencapsulated phase change material by direct binding. This article presents the study of thermal conductivity by the hot wire method. Using this method, tests of temperature changes during plaster hardening were also carried out. Compressive strength tests were also carried out on the 14th, 21st, 28th, 35th and 105th day from the date of making the samples. For each of these tests, three types of samples with different polymer content were used. After a series of tests, the best results were obtained by a series of samples with 0.1% polymer.
