Smart Textile‐Based Personal Thermal Comfort Systems: Current Status and Potential Solutions
Advanced Materials Technologies, 2020 Thermophysiological comfort in humans is sought universally but seldom achieved due to biological and physiological variances. Most people in developed parts of the world rely on highly energy‐intensive, and inefficient central heating/cooling systems to
