Abstract
-Phosphoric acid as a flame retardant in microencapsulated phase change material was tested for the first time in this study. The results support that the improved flame retardancy and thermal energy storage properties were achieved with the incorporation of a flame retardant on microcapsules for energy storing concrete samples.
