Characterization of Phase Change Materials for Textiles

PCM has the ability to change their state, these materials absorb energy during the heating process as a body contact and release energy during a reverse cooling process as phase change take place. Using the thermal energy storage of PCM which has a melting point 15 to $35^{circ}C$ is one of the most effective ideas for utilization in textile finish. In this study, microencapsulated PCM(MCPCM) were synthesized by sol-gel method using the octadecane(or nonadecane) as PCM and the silica as microcapsule materials. To develop smart temperature adaptable textile, coating process was applied to textile substrate using a composition included MCPCM.
