Clothing thermo-regulated textiles

Heat storage and thermo-regulated textiles and clothing... 

The heat-storage and thermo-regulated textiles and clothing are newer concepts they are two-way thermo-regulated new products, and have been studied for more than 30 years. The development history of heat-storage and thermo- regulated textiles and clothing is outlined in Table 3.1. 

Scientists have increasingly been studying the manufacture process and properties of heat-storage and thermo-regulated textiles and clothing for several decades. There will be more reports about basic, dynamic thermal resistance and its applications in the near future. 

Linear chain hydrocarbons are a non-toxic, inexpensive, extensive source of raw materials, suitable for varied usage. They are the most important PCMs in the manufacture of heat-storage and thermo-regulated textiles and clothing. 

As the manufacturing technology of heat-storage and thermo-regulated fibres and textiles became more advanced, new types of clothing came onto the market. The PEG-coated fabrics produced by the Mitsui Corporation were used as ski- and sportswear. " ... 

There are many thermal benefits of treating textile structures with PCM microcapsules such as cooling, insulation and thermo regulating effect. Without phase change materials the thermal insulation capacity of clothing depends on the thickness and the density of the fabric (passive insulation). The application of PCM to a garment provides an active thermal...
