“…This study could also help the development of PCS devices, especially wearable comfort devices. To date, PCS devices include extensive scales, such as chairs and tables for the whole body, 41,42 clothes for body segments, 43,44 wrist-bands and neck-worn fans for smaller scales. 45,46 When regulating the wearer's skin temperature at one body part, thermal sensation would change at other body parts in the meantime.…”

Existing research have explored thermal sensitivity under steady thermal conditions while how it changes with time is unknown. In this study, the arm and face were taken as examples to study dynamic characteristics of thermal sensitivity. The test spots were stimulated under thermally neutral ambient conditions to obtain skin temperature and thermal sensation at three levels (e.g. the micro-scale (1.54 cm2) spot, local body part and whole body) at intervals of 4 s. Results showed that in the first 4 s of stimuli, skin temperature change would reach 52% of the final variation. The overshooting rate of the arm thermal sensitivity was 1.6 and 1.8 times over the stable state for cooling and heating stimuli, and that of the face was 1.9 and 2.0 times. 95% of subjects on the arm and 85% on the face were more sensitive to cooling stimuli. The warmth sensitivities of different genders and body parts were shown to be significantly different, while the cold sensitivity of different body parts produced small differences. When stimulating one test spot, the ratio of thermal sensation at three levels was 15:4:1 on the arm and 16:3:1 on the face. These results can help to understand how the body responds to spatially ununiform and temporally unsteady thermal exposures.

“…2,3 Moisture-wicking technologies have drawn more and more attention due to their capability for drawing superfluous moisture away from the skin to cool down the human body for meeting the personal comfort. [4][5][6] Moisture wicking mainly depends on the capillary force, 7 which can collect the sweat via tiny capillary pores and then transfer it to the outer surface. [8][9][10] However, the moisture-wicking process is usually bidirectional.…”

Textiles with outstanding moisture transport characteristics and excellent flammability is of vital importance for human beings. In this work, the poly(arylene sulfide sulfone)–polydopamine/polyphenylene sulfide–polydopamine/poly(arylene sulfide sulfone) (PASS‐PDA/PPS‐PDA/PASS) composite fibric with multigradient porous structures from macro to submicron levels prepared via micrometer and nanometer fibers for water transport and evaporation has been fabricated. The introduction of PDA can effectively improve the hydrophilicity of the composite membrane. Meanwhile, superhydrophobic PASS layer with beaded structure was obtained by electrospray as the inner layer. It is found that PASS‐PDA‐72 fabric exhibited outstanding water diffusion property (spreading diameter = 10.47 cm) and ultrafast the water evaporation (0.20 g h−1). Meanwhile, the beaded‐structure PASS fabrics with high hydrophobicity (water contact angle is 130°C) was selected to absorb water from the surface of human skin and transport it to the other side to evaporate quickly, giving the surface of human skin a comfortable and dry environment. What is more, the PASS‐PDA/PPS‐PDA/PASS composite membrane exhibited excellent thermal stability (Tdmax = 544°C) and flame retardancy, which will have potential for the application in the field of fire protection.

“…Next, we examine how formulation compositions influence the resulting morphologies designed to target different types of applications. All these attributes make PVA-based electrospun nanofibers a class of nanomaterials well suited to a wide range of applications, including tissue engineering [55], drug delivery [56], gas sensors [57], bioactive fibers [58], electronic skin or smart textiles [59], energy storage [60], and thermal comfort [61]. We focus on the most relevant examples to highlight the advances linked to developing PVA-based electrospun nanofibers.…”

Poly(vinyl alcohol) is one of the most attractive polymers with a wide range of uses because of its water solubility, biocompatibility, low toxicity, good mechanical properties, and relatively low cost. This review article focuses on recent advances in poly(vinyl alcohol) electrospinning and summarizes parameters of the process (voltage, distance, flow rate, and collector), solution (molecular weight and concentration), and ambient (humidity and temperature) in order to comprehend the influence on the structural, mechanical, and chemical properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)-based electrospun matrices. The importance of poly(vinyl alcohol) electrospinning in biomedical applications is emphasized by exploring a literature review on biomedical applications including wound dressings, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensors. The study also highlights a new promising area of particles formation through the electrospraying of poly(vinyl alcohol). The limitations and advantages of working with different poly(vinyl alcohol) matrices are reviewed, and some recommendations for the future are made to advance this field of study.
