“…When the thermal resistance of clothes is insufficient or too high, human bodies feel uncomfortable. Thermo-regulated fibers (TRFs), , which contains phase change materials (PCMs) with textiles, can decrease the heat fluctuation intensity to a certain degree because PCMs can absorb and release latent heat during melting and crystallization; thus, the temperature difference between human bodies and the environment is eliminated. − In the field of smart fibers for clothing, investigators have been trying to fabricate TRFs with high latent heat and suitable working temperatures. − With the continuous advancement of textile technology, fibers are becoming more functional and intelligent. Fibers are not only traditional materials used in daily necessities, such as clothing and packaging, but they also play a vital role in cutting-edge technologies.…”

Thermo-regulated fibers, which contain phase change materials with a melting temperature close to human body temperature, have attracted great scientific attention. Nanofibers with poly(n-tetradecyl acrylate-co-n-hexadecyl acrylate) (poly(TDA-co-HDA)) as the core material and poly(acrylonitrileco-vinylidene chloride) (P(AN-co-VDC) as the sheath were successfully fabricated by coaxial electrostatic spinning technology. The synthesized fibers possessed a sheath/core structure with a melting temperature of approximately 28 °C and an enthalpy of 28 J/g. Coaxial electrostatic spinning was further used to fabricate core-spun yarns using graphene-added PHDA, P(TDA-co-HDA), and P(TDA-co-HDA) as core materials and P(AN-co-VDC) as the sheath to wrap modified poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/ poly(n-hexadecyl acrylate) (PHDA) thermo-regulated filaments. The resultant core yarns were completely wrapped by nanofibers, and the enthalpy was about 25 J/g. The fabricated yarns significantly increased the static air adsorption capacity. Infrared photos proved that these yarns improved the thermal insulation performance and prolonged the temperature-regulating period. Therefore, fabrics made of these yarns can act as novel smart materials for temperature-control applications.
