“…Although organic PCMs have significant features of chemical stability, noncorrosive, thermophysical properties, thermal diffusivity, latent heat capacity, and low cost [18]. PCMs are now used in building thermal comfort [19], lithium batteries [20], solar thermal systems [21], electronics chips cooling [22], air conditioning systems [23], refrigeration [24], heat pumps [25] and textiles [26]. Low thermal conductivity limits their performances in heat transfer applications.…”

“…into textiles is one facial method for PTM. [2,3] During the phase transition of the PCMs over a certain temperature, the thermal resistance of the PCMs is changeable and the thermal energy is absorbed or released. However, the leakage of the PCMs is the main problem for the practical applications.…”

“…[13,14] In addition, PCMs are usually coated on fabrics or incorporated into fibers for PTM. For PCMincorporated fabrics, various methods have been proposed to apply MPCMs or FSPCMs on fabrics, including coating, padding, laminating, printing etc.. [2,15,16] However, loss of MPCMs or FSPCMs possibly happens because of mechanical movement (e. g., washing, abrasion). For PCM fibers, the incorporation of the pure PCMs, MPCMs or FSPCMs into fibers is the alternative.…”

Incorporating phase change materials (PCMs) into textiles is one facial method to realize personal thermal management (PTM). Despite the significant progress of PCM‐incorporated textiles, the incorporation of PCMs into textiles remains an outstanding challenge. In this work, we described a sandwich‐like multi‐layer PCM fabric, which consisted of nanofibrous membranes as barrier layers and PCM‐loaded viscose fabric as a PCM‐loaded layer. Three common organic PCMs including polyethylene glycol (PEG), paraffin wax (PW) and myristic acid (MA), and the polyurethane (PU) nanofibrous membranes was used. As a result, we achieved that weak interfacial adhesion between melting PCMs and PU nanofibrous membranes accounted for leakage phenomena. Only the sample (UPWV) with PU nanofibrous membranes as barrier layers and paraffin wax (PW) as PCMs had no leakage. Little confinement of PW crystallization in the UPWV was found. Besides, thermal energy storage, phase transition, and thermal buffering effect of UPWV supported various applications.

Phase change materials (PCMs) textiles have been developed for personal thermal management (PTM) while limited loading amount of PCMs in textiles reduced thermal buffering effect. In this work, we proposed a sandwich fibrous encapsulation to store polyethylene glycol (PEG) with PEG loading amount of 45 wt %, which consisted of polyester (PET) fabrics with hydrophobic coating as protection layers, polyurethane (PU) nanofibrous membranes as barrier layers and PEG‐loaded viscose fabric as a PCM‐loaded layer. The leakage was totally avoided by controlling weak interfacial adhesion between protection layer and melting PEG. The sandwich fibrous PEG encapsulations had an overall melting enthalpy value ranging from 50 J/g to 78 J/g and melting points ranging from 20 °C to 63 °C by using different PEGs. Besides, introduction of Fe microparticles in PCM‐loaded layer enhanced thermal energy storage efficiency. We believe that the sandwich fibrous PEG encapsulation has a great potential in various fields.
