Abstract
Taking the advantages of the unique features of phase change materials (PCM),it is possible to fabricate smart thermoregulated textiles through the effective combination of PCM and textiles. In this study, the candidates of PCM and its requirements suitable for the textiles were summarized, various manufacturing technologies of microPCMs and smart thermo-regulated textiles were reviewed. For the applications on a large scale, further research need to be conducted in aspects including new types of PCM, stability and durability of smart textiles, the advanced fabricating technology, performance of PCM microcapsules and its novel applications in textile industry, and relevant evaluation method and standard for the smart textiles.
