The use of smart polymer effects in textiles

Smart polymers exhibit various properties. But how to use these functions in textiles is important for the smart function transformed from polymer to fibres and fabrics. The following contents introduce the functions transformation of smart polymers by various forms such as fibre, solution, film and different processing methods such as spinning, finishing, lamination and coating. [Pg.453]

Textiles and garments containing PCM are still being developed and investigated. Lamination, coating, knitting and weaving are adopted to [Pg.453]

Fibre type and heating rate appeared to have little effect on the overall heat content or thermal performance of the treated fabrics. The PEG-coated fabrics produced by the Mitsui Corporation were used as ski and sportswear. Other thermo-regulated textile products, such as blankets, sleeping bags, underwear, jackets, sports garments, socks, ski boots, helmets, etc., have come into the market since 1997.  [Pg.454]

A porous structure and large surface area to volume ratio endow SMPs with better sensitivity, smart temperature and moisture control. Although research in this area has just started, the outcomes are very inspiring and encouraging. Because of the wide use of SMPs in medical and protective textile materials, the structures could potentially rival existing materials and devices. [Pg.455]

SMPU films have become good candidates in breathable laminated nonporous fabrics due to the sensitivity of the WVP to temperature and humidity. In 2000, Jeong et al. studied the WVP properties of SMPUs with [Pg.455]
