Products Description
With the chilly seasons coming in, people may stack up layers of clothing to protect themselves from the shivering cold. In other parts of the world, they might be fending the sweltering heat, ditching layered outfits for a single shirt or top. These days, designers are looking into maintaining people’s body temperature regardless of what the person is wearing by devising jackets and hats that become cool or warm to adapt to the wearer’s needs. While the tech-based apparel and its playful designs and tantamount pockets can attract the wearer to put them on, the materials regulating body temperature may be the main reason they want to own it in the first place.
These materials are intentionally selected for their properties. Research time has been invested before the designers take on the challenge of how they can integrate these materials into clothing. Take a team of scientists from The University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute and their studies as an example. They delved into the thermal properties of graphene, a hexagonal layer of single-carbon atoms, and discovered that it can be used to create clothing that can lower the body temperature of the wearer in hot climates.
What Is Thermochromism, and How Does It Relate to Heat Reactivity?
Thermochromism is the phenomenon where certain materials change color in response to temperature. It’s this effect that makes the color-shifting appeal of heat-reactive clothing possible.
Specifically, a heat-reactive garment is created using a combination of traditional dye and thermochromic dye applied to the fabric. At lower temperatures, the garment retains its original color, but when it reaches about 24°C, the color begins to change, sometimes revealing a pattern.
