Research progress on the structure and application of electrospun temperature regulating nanofibers
The phase change temperature-regulating fiber is a functional fiber developed by combining phase change materials with fiber manufacturing technology.It can undergo phase transition using the embedded phase change materials in response to changes in the external environment,thereby exchanging heat with the surroundings and achieving functions such as energy storage or temperature regulation.The combination of phase change materials with electrospinning technology offers numerous advantages for the development of nano-temperature-regulating fiber materials,such as flexible structural design,enhanced mechanical strength,and high aspect ratio.The research progress of electrospun phase change temperature-regulating nanofibers is reviewed in terms of their structural design and applications.In terms of structural design,electrospinning technology is utilized to construct and prepare nanoscale temperature-regulating fibers through methods such as blending,microencapsulation,and core-sheath structure.In terms of applications,these fibers have shown promising prospects in fields such as smart textiles,biomedical applications,photothermal storage,food packaging,and green energy-saving buildings.Finally,the future development directions of electrospun phase change temperature-regulating nanofibers are discussed.
