Abstract
Absorption/desorption properties of some humidity controlling materials which contain gypsum as basic cement materials and activated Sepiolite powder as humidity controlling media were tested. The kinetics curve of moisture adsorption/desorption were drawn and humidity controlling performance in nature environment was verified. The experimental results show that moisture absorption/desorption rates are increased, and the speed is also accelerated. These materials, which can adjust environmental humidity effectively, are new ones with good humidity controlling performance.
