Phase-change materials (PCMs) for warming or cooling in protective clothing

Gao, Chuansi LU (2014) p.227-249
Abstract

The various types of phase-change materials (PCMs), which absorb or release stored latent heat when they change phases causing cooling and warming effects, are described and the working principles are outlined. The various ways of incorporating PCMs into textiles for protective clothing are explored, and critical factors identified that determine the effectiveness of PCM cooling and warming effects. Examples of applications are given. Standards and testing, future trends and challenges are discussed.
