A Camel‐Fur‐Inspired Micro‐Extrusion Foaming Porous Elastic Fiber for All‐Weather Dual‐Mode Human Thermal Regulation [PDF]

Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 43, November 20, 2024.
Existing personal thermal regulation materials fall short of meeting the demands for sustainable all‐climate wide range temperature management. Herein, an elastic porous fiber and its fabric are developed by micro‐extrusion physical foaming method, which not only has excellent radiation cooling performance and evaporative cooling function, but also has

Radiative cooling textiles using industry‐standard particle‐free nonporous micro‐structured fibers [PDF]

Nanophotonics, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 649-657, March 2024.
Abstract Thermal radiation is a major dissipative pathway for heat generated by the human body and offers a significant thermoregulation mechanism over a wide range of conditions. We could use this in garment design to enhance personal cooling, which can improve the wearing comfort of garments or even result in energy savings in buildings.

Design and Fabrication of Smart Diapers with Antibacterial Yarn [PDF]

Journal of Healthcare Engineering, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
In this study, intelligent eco‐diapers are made by combining antibacterial yarns coated with quaternary ammonium salts with conductive yarns to improve caretaking for urinary incontinence. The combination of conductive yarns and sensors can detect the moisture content in eco‐diapers, and an alarm is sent when moisture is significant.
