(a) Development of PCM impregnated aggregates consisting of multiwalled carbon nanotubes inside. (a-1) It is possible to control the content of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in the PCM suspension as per morphology of the lightweight aggregate. (a-2) Lightweight aggregates with larger pore diameters have the ability to store the nano material in higher quantities so the MWCNT content can be increased. (b) Concrete fabricated by using nano-PCM impregnated lightweight aggregates will have higher thermal fatigue resistance as compared to its counterparts. (b-1) Addition of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in the PCM is beneficial to complete the both phases congruently. (b-2) Chances of supercooling phenomenon get very low due to congruent melting and freezing. (b-3) Also time required to complete one phase is lesser then its counter parts.
