Personal thermal management by thermally conductive composites: A review

Composites Communications, 2021
Abstract Personal thermal management, including warming, cooling, and adaptive thermoregulation of human body, is critical to the comfort and performance of individuals in daily life. Most people feel comfortable within a narrow range of temperature (i.e., between 20 °C and 27 °C) and relative humidity (between 35% and 60%). However, extremely hot or

Hump‐Inspired Hierarchical Fabric for Personal Thermal Protection and Thermal Comfort Management

Advanced Functional Materials, 2023
AbstractPersonal protection is critical for firefighters to ensure their safety in an extreme fire environment. However, conventional firefighter uniforms tend to focus on thermal protection and have the bottleneck of lacking personal thermal management. The heat stress caused by poor thermal management inevitably detriments human body health.

Dynamic thermoregulatory photonic crystal fabric for personal thermal management

2021 IEEE Sensors, 2021
Personal thermal management represents a new paradigm to reduce the energy consumption, which consists in controlling the temperature around the human body rather than regulating the temperature of the entire residential space. Recent progress in smart textile showed promising radiative heating and cooling performance.
