Descripción
Sumario:In this work, a personal thermal management (PTM) device based on single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized polyester fabrics had been studied. Polyester fabrics were functionalized with SWCNTs through coating method with poly (butyl acrylate) emulsion as the adhesive. The SEM images exhibited that SWCNTs formed high-efficiently conductive networks due to the large aspect ratio and uniform dispersion. A steady-state temperature of 40 °C was achieved at the input voltage of 2.5 V within 7 s, which exhibited excellent electro-thermal performance. Even under periodic heating-cooling conditions, heating system still displayed relatively stable temperature and relative resistance, which could have potential application for wearable clothes.
