Thermal Regulating Fiber/Fabric
Overview
NAMI has developed a nano-encapsulated phase change material (Nano-PCM) for the application in thermal regulating textile.
Commercialisation opportunities
Non-exclusive licensing
Problem addressed
The textile products with Nano-PCM can provide a regulating function upon the change of environmental conditions, offering an effective buffer against ambient temperature fluctuations.
Innovation
- Embedded nano-PCM interacts continuously with the microclimate of the surrounding, absorbing and releasing thermal energy to balance the temperature, eventually improves thermal comfort of human bodies.
Key impact
- Long thermal regulation effect, outperforming other products with micro-PCMs
- Fast response
- Soft touch feel, good mechanical strength and long lifetime
Application
- Thermal regulated products
- Apparel
- Bedding
- Footwear
