To develop a thermostatic fabric, a 100% polyester fabric is treated with octadecane-
containing microcapsules by a knife-over-roll coating process. The amount of heat content
increases as the concentration of microcapsules increases. and it decreases as the temper
ature and time increase. The surfactant treatment at a given microcapsule concentration
increases the heat content of the treated fabrics about 56-94%. The durability of the coated
microcapsules lasts for about ten launderings. The treated fabric becomes stiffer and less
smooth, soft, and full than the untreated fabric, as shown by KES measurements. Wear trials
with the untreated and treated garments in a conditioned environment confirm the
temperature sensing properties of treated garments. The cooling effect from thermal storage
of the octadecane-containing microcapsules is revealed by results showing that the
changes in the mean skin and microclimate temperature with the treated garment are less
than for those wearing the untreated garment.
