Abstract
The objective of this study is to develop a novel smart textile based on phase change materials (PCMs) polyethylene glycol (PEG) for UV-shielding and temperature regulation. Through combination of PEG as a PCM, polyamide 6 (PA6) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) as supporting materials, the smart textiles were fabricated by single nozzle electrospinning. The excellent ultraviolet absorbing ability of TiO2 enabled the efficient UV-shielding under solar illumination. Based on the results, the smart textiles were successfully fabricated with favourable surface morphology, good compatibility and thermal stability. Notably, the smart textiles possess a latent heat of 51.14 J/g and show good thermal reliability after 500 heating-cooling cycles. This work can be suitable to use in multifunctional textiles and give a meaningful guidance for comfortable smart wear.
