“…27 Also the paraffinic PCM is used in the interlayer of the helmet for reduction of heat stress in motorbike riding. 28 Hassabo and Mohamed 29 published a review on the enhancement of thermoregulation for textile materials using PCM where mechanism, types, and application process of PCM was extensively studied. Prajapati and Kandasubramanian 30 also did a review on polymericbased PCM for thermoregulating fabric application.…”

Jute bags are widely used to carry food grains and other materials that may be prone to quality deterioration due to thermal fluctuation. Thermal and moisture properties play a significant role in the packaging materials in the form of a container. This study deals with the effect of microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) with hydrophobic binder on thermal and moisture management properties of jute fabric. Jute fabric was treated with MPCM by pad-dry-cure method. The treated sample was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning colorimeter (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), moisture management tester (MMT), and air permeability tester. The results revealed that MPCM treated jute fabric shows greater thermal stability and heat absorption ability of 10.58 J/g while changing from solid to liquid phase. The SEM image ensures even distribution of MPCMs on fabric surface and surface roughness was also observed using image processing software. The air permeability was found to decrease whereas the water repellency enhanced in the developed sample.

“…The novel application of innovative fabrics containing paraffin based PCMs in the development of a barrier layer between the head and padding of a motorcycle helmet to regulate the heat within the helmet was investigated in a study conducted by Sinnappoo et al [41]. They used various PCM coated textile materials and used them as liner inside the motorcycle helmet and a hood with interchangeable paraffinic PCM inserts was part of the fabricated cloth liner.…”

Helmets are ubiquitously used forms of protective equipment in various industries. A common major drawback in helmets is their poor thermal management. Here, to reduce the dependency on active cooling methods and to conserve same helmet design, a composite thermal liner based passive cooling mechanism is proposed. A multifunctional liner consisting of uniformly distributed graphene oxide nanosheets and icosane is prepared. A helmet liner cast out of a 3D‐printed mold is tested to measure impact energy absorption using a home‐built helmet impact testing setup in accordance with ASTM D7136/D7136M‐20. The liner is expected to deform, thereby absorbing the energy from the impact and eventually reducing the impact experienced by the user. The material (10X‐GOME‐0.75), obtained after careful optimization of the mechanical and thermal properties of different combinations of varying weight fractions of the fillers, exhibits about 300% greater deformation over an unmodified epoxy (UME) liner (0.3% strain) and also shows 98% strain recovery over a fatigue test of >7500 cycles. Thermal characterization shows heat absorption by the material at about 37 °C, which is the average human body temperature. Such materials can have future in developing lightweight next‐generation helmets with better thermal management for use in various fields.
