摘要
Moisture evaporation plays a crucial role in thermal management of human body, particularly in perspiration process. However, current fabrics aim for sweat removal and takes little account of basic thermo-regulation of sweat, resulted in their limited evaporation capacity and heat dissipation at moderate/intense scenarios. In this study, a hygroscopic cooling (h-cool) fabric based on multi-functional design, for personal perspiration management, was described. By using economic and effective weaving technology, directional moisture transport routes and heat conductive pathways were incorporated in the construct. The resultant fabric showed 10 times greater one-way transport index higher than cotton, Dri-FIT and Coolswitch fabrics, which contributed to highly enhanced evaporation ability (~4.5 times than cotton), not merely liquid diffusion. As a result, h-cool fabric performed 2.1–4.2 °C cooling efficacy with significantly reduced sweat consuming than cotton, Dri-FIT and Coolswitch fabrics in the artificial sweating skin. Finally, the practical applications by actually wearing h-cool fabric showed great evaporative-cooling efficacy during different physical activities. Owing to the excellent thermo-moisture management ability, we expect the novel concept and construct of h-cool fabric can provide promising strategy for developing functional textiles with great "cool" and comfortable "dry" tactile sensation at various daily scenarios.
