Application Progress of Photothermal Conversion Phase Change Microcapsules in Textiles
The classification of phase change materials and the advantages and disadvantages of each type of materials were introduced,and the preparation methods of photothermal conversion phase change microcapsules were reviewed,as well as their applications in textiles.Solid-liquid phase change materials represented by paraffin wax are most widely used in the textile field;there are three preparation methods of photothermal conversion phase change microcapsules,among which the preparation of photothermal conversion wall materials is more widely used;the preparation of composite phase change fabrics mostly adopts spinning method,filling method and finishing method.It is pointed out that the optimization of the preparation process of photothermal conversion phase change microcapsules,the improvement of the photothermal conversion efficiency,durability,heat storage and temperature regulation ability,comfort of composite phase change fabrics,and the broadening of application of photothermal conversion phase change microcapsules in textiles are the important research directions in the future.
