Personal cooling garments have been developed to reduce the risk of heat stress and heat-
related injuries in hot environments. The human body can suffer from a kind of heat stress …

Phase change properties of clothing gain attention of the researcher now for their significant
unique ability to absorb, release, store, and deposit temperature during phase transition …

A previous study by the authors using a heated thermal manikin showed that the cooling
rates of phase change material (PCM) are dependent on temperature gradient, mass, and …

Personal cooling systems (PCS) have been developed to mitigate the impact of severe heat
stress for humans working in hot environments. It is still a great challenge to develop PCSs …

Abstract Phase Change Cooling Clothing (PCCC) is a promising wearable device, which
can reduce thermal discomfort and health risks associated with high ambient temperatures …

This paper explores the modeling of physical phenomena that occur in clothing that affect
the safety and biophysical comfort of the user. Three-dimensional models of textile …

The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of the different values of heating/cooling rate
(1, 5, 10, 15° C/min) on thermal properties of textile materials modified with PCM …

A cooling vest containing phase change materials (PCM) can help in maintaining the skin
temperature of the covered parts at a comfortable level. A transient mathematical model of …

This article presents research on the assessment of the impact of surface modification of
cotton and polyester fabrics using four techniques (flocking, layer by layer, screen printing …

Cooling vests incorporated with phase change materials (PCMs) add extra insulation and
restrict sweat evaporation. It is still unclear how much cooling benefit they can provide. The …
