The aim was to produce a coating Polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a phase change material for use in thermo adjustable tissues.
A thermostatically tissue is able to provide a balance between the heat generated by the body and the heat released to the environment. Currently, these fabrics have application in several areas, and the sports clothing is one of the most studied fields.
Thermographic test: analyze the heat transfer between fabric and body in two different samples. The left arm of the sample containing the test material, whereas the other sample serves as a comparator, with the control fabric.
Thermographic test: image obtained after heating test
