the project investigated the feasibility of producing protective clothing that could reversibly release useful quantities of energy as heat. the heat would be released only when required by the wearer. by the chemical modification of clothing type polymers with phase change materials, it was shown that the derivatized products can reversibly store significant quantities of energy as heat. the products were found to release the heat energy at temperatures that are attractive for a clothing application and the temperature of transition can be adjusted if desired. the phase transitions could be reproducibly cycled many times. replacing currently available cold weather clothing with thin phase change clothing would allow for better dexterity and provide for increased comfort and warmth
