| Title: | Mechanically robust, responsive composite membrane for a thermoregulating textile | Authors: | Jahid, MA Hu, J Thakur, S |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Source: | ACS omega, 3 Mar. 2020, v. 5, no. 8, p. 3899-3907 | Abstract: | The human body releases heat via four mechanisms: conduction, convection, evaporation, and radiation. The normal core temperature of the human body is around 37 degrees C, and metabolism may be negatively affected and enzymes/proteins may be destroyed if the core temperature rises above 45 degrees C. To prevent such overheating, we developed an evaporative-radiative-convective fabric which can control the personal microclimate of the human body through a cooling mechanism (evaporation of perspiration, air convection, and emission of heat radiation directly into the environment). In this work, we fabricated a thermo-moisture sensitive polyurethane/silica aerogel composite membrane which showed super evaporative and radiative effects and which can facilitate the convection process in the human body. We also fabricated a sensitive membrane-based textile which can cool down the human body by releasing body heat. The developed material possessed robust mechanical properties for the longevity of the material, high water-evaporative ability, and air permeability to provide comfort to the wearer. Microclimate-controlled clothing can release most of our body heat to the environment. | Publisher: | American Chemical Society | Journal: | ACS omega | ISSN: | 2470-1343 | DOI: | 10.1021/acsomega.9b03268 | Rights: | © 2020 American Chemical Society This is an open access article published under an ACS AuthorChoice License (https://pubs.acs.org/page/policy/authorchoice_termsofuse.html), which permits copying and redistribution of the article or any adaptations for non-commercial purposes.
