This research aimed to develop luminescence composite materials (fibers and filaments) using polylactic acid (PLA) as a matrix and europium‐doped magnesium aluminate (MgAl2O4:Eu) as a filler. To create luminescent composite materials ranging from 5 to 20 phr for fibers and 10–40 phr for filaments, different amounts of a 10% MgAl2O4:Eu/PLA masterbatch were loaded into the PLA matrix. The morphology of luminescence composite materials as well as their thermal, mechanical, and luminescent properties, was examined. The surface and cross‐section of the luminescent fibers were slightly rough. However, the thermal properties were not significantly changed with increasing in the amount of MgAl2O4:Eu. Mechanical testing revealed that the strength and toughness of luminous fiber were improved when 10 phr masterbatch was loaded. The luminescence property displayed emission wavelengths between 570 and 710 nm and a strong emission peak at 615 nm under excitation at 240 nm, resulting in red or pink emission. Additionally, the fabrication of the luminescence filament for 3D printing was successfully done. The final products showed pink color under UV light as similar as that of luminescent fibers, while their mechanical properties were improved by modifying MgAl2O4:Eu with a silane coupling agent.

“…There are various methods to incorporate PCMs into textiles such as melt spinning [16][17][18][19][20], wet spinning [21][22][23][24], coating and lamination [25][26][27]. Electrospinning is currently an efficient process for the fabrication of ultrafine fibres.…”

Twisted nylon 6 nanofibre yarns containing microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) were fabricated via electrospinning to prepare thermal regulating nanofibre yarns. Electrospun nanofibre yarns with different contents of MPCMs including 0.375, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 wt% were prepared. The surface morphology, crystallisation and thermal properties of the yarn samples were characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. SEM results showed that electrospun composite fibres and yarns had good morphology with smooth surface and the MPCMs were randomly distributed on the composite yarn surface, inside the nanofibres and between the fibres in the yarn structure. Additionally, the SEM results suggested that the average diameters of nylon 6/MPCM nanofibres decreased from 0.23 § 0.03 mm for neat nylon 6 to a minimum of 0.10 § 0.02 mm for composite yarn containing 3 wt% MPCM. However, nylon 6/MPCM nanofibre yarn diameter displayed a complex behaviour; the average diameters of electrospun composite yarns increased upon addition of MPCM and reached a maximum value of 165.1 § 5.11 mm for composite yarn containing 0.75 wt% MPCM, then decreased markedly. These changes in nylon 6/MPCM nanofibres and yarn diameters have been discussed in terms of electrospinning solution properties and twist parameter. The melting enthalpy values of MPCM in the composite nanofibre yarns increased as the content of MPCMs increased up to the highest content and higher than 80% of the heat storage capacity of MPCMs was retained after electrospinning.

The modified innovative product design and development method has been developed and used for a design work of innovative and multifunctional jackets with optoelectronic technologies in a previous study. There were six items of key design themes were found out, including practicality, aesthetics, portability, washability, multifunction and composability. In this study, a design strategy and solution was proposed and a multifunctional jacket with optoelectronic function was completed. Finally, a survey with questionnaire was executed and analyzed for evaluation and verification of the design achievement. According to the consequence of data analysis, the performances of a new innovative and multifunctional jacket of this study are better than those of a traditional jacket.
