“…Cotton sheets are hypoallergenic and a good choice for sensitive skin, and PCM could reduce the temperature and humidity of its microenvironment and effectively alleviate the heat-stress phenomenon of the human body in hot temperature and high humidity environment, as well as improve the thermal comfort of bed sheets [ 7 , 10 , 11 ]. MPCM incorporated fabric can be used as a bedding material in the intensive care units (ICU) for thermal comfort, and researchers have tried using PCM with different fabric types via bath dipping technique [ [12] , [13] , [14] ]. PCM can be incorporated into fabric either through an oven curing process or by melting together synthetic polymers.…”

“…Currently, phase change materials are present in a wide range of textile products such as smart fabrics [11,12], medical applications [13], protective apparel [14], sportswear [15], denim [16], and nonwovens [17], amongst others [18][19][20].…”
“…Due to the paraffin's various kinds, we can choose different kinds of paraffin according to the number of carbon atoms in it to prepare energy storage and temperature regulation fibers which have different phase transition temperature for different places. Researchers showed that cellulose has a three-dimensional structure [12]. In this work, the cellulose is used as matrix for the energy storage and temperature regulation fibers.…”
Cellulose is a good bio-based material for rich resources and recyclability. Paraffin is widely used in the field of energy storage and temperature regulation due to its excellent heat storage properties and mature preparation technology. In this paper, the cellulose fibers with energy storage and temperature regulation were prepared by wet spinning process using paraffin as phase change material. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) were utilized to characterize the morphology structure, crystalline properties, phase transition properties and heat resistance of fibers and so on. The results showed that the fiber surface without holes and paraffin was uniformly distributed in the cellulose matrix, and paraffin was not easily overflow during the process of phase change. Paraffin and cellulose substrate had good compatibility due to the interaction of hydrogen bonding, and 30% of paraffin did not cause a significant impact on the degree of crystallinity and thermal stability of cellulose fibers. Enthalpy of the resultant functional fibers could reach 27.44 J/g, and the thermal decomposition temperature was over 300 °C. The fibers possessed the phase change ability and certain mechanical properties. Furthermore, it was found that the fibers still had good resistance to washing under extreme conditions.
