On the Heat Transfer Control Methods in Temperature Regulating Textiles

Thermal comfort is one of the important and effective parameters on the health and efficiency of the human body, and textiles play a significant role in providing this parameter. In this regard, many engineered textiles have been proposed by adjusting different thermal mechanisms. In the present study, the recent developments in the field of active and passive temperature control (heating, cooling and two-mode textiles) have been expressed with emphasis on the effective mechanism of heat transfer in the desired textile. Finally, the used methods are compared and the challenges and opportunities in this field are pointed out.
