Article: Preparations of microencapsulated PCMs-coated nylon fabrics by wet and dry coating process and comparison of their properties.(phase change materials)(Report)

INTRODUCTION

Recently, in the field of functional outer sports/leisure wear, winter clothing increasingly requires additional protective properties, to provide protection from severe outdoor conditions, while maintaining the conventional water vapor permeability (WVP) and water repellent properties. For this high performance clothing, previous investigators studied the incorporation of additives into the fabrics such as aluminum, ceramics, PCMs (phase change materials) (1-3), and so on (4), (5). However, although the incorporation of a dispersion of aluminum in polyurethane (PU) in the form of a coating reflected some radiation heat, it did not come up to its ...
